The Tampa in TLAD only appears in the opening cutscene in front of the Pay 'n' Spray and is also featured in the BradyGames Strategy Guide for the episode. The paint job is based on that of a 1969 Ford Mustang Boss 302, with the stripe going across the trunk based on the super bee stripe, found on performance cars from Dodge and Plymouth since the 1960s. Parts of the exterior of Tampa is based on the 1964-1973 Ford Mustang, while the front of the Tampa resembles a 1970-1972 Dodge Dart Demon the roof and sides of the car are reminiscent of the 68-72 Chevrolet Nova (but with less of a fastback profile) the rear is reminiscent of a 1968 Dodge Charger. In both The Lost and Damned and The Ballad of Gay Tony, the Declasse Tampa is redesigned as a far more beefy muscle car that may butt heads with the Sabre GT. The Tampa is one of the gang cars used by the Da Nang Boys, a gang based in San Fierro. The car spawns in a variety of primary body colors, with the mismatched parts actually being its secondary color. The vehicle also appears to be over-scaled and in comparison to some under-scaled cars, as it looks much larger than an old compact. However, the vehicle will retain its crooked licence plates if it is modified. These panels cannot be resprayed into a single color at Pay and Sprays, but can be done at TransFenders.

It has plain steel wheels, and mismatched paint on multiple body panels, indicating it was put together with spare parts from a junkyard, making it one of the first ' Beater' cars in the GTA series.

The Tampa in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas resembles a 1965-1969 Chevrolet Corvair Monza, except it is not rear-engined and it has a grill.
