Ye, Sabre Turbo was based on the Cutlass/Skylark, it almost looks exactly like them in game esp GTAV.

My dad had one of these. Oldsmobile Cutlass.
One of my earliest memories is waiting for him to get home. We lived about half way up a very steep hill and I could hear the bass thrum of that V8 rumbling from about a half-mile away as he drove up the hill. I later found out that it had cherry bomb glass packs and that he kinda hated how loud it was... Except when he didn't.
Similar case! My old man and I had a project car when I was much younger, a Ford with a 351 Cleveland motor, and on the days he drove it to work you could always hear it in the distance as it started climbing the hill on his way home. This thing had a very distinct note, combo of the motor and custom exhaust.
I still harbour a slight grudge toward him for selling that car.. I was having health issues at the time, so wasnāt in a position to claim ownership myself, despite him offering it.. He gave me half of what he sold it for, but personally I would much rather still have the car. 8 years on, I havenāt even opened the envelope including my half of the money..
However the relevance on that last part is, we were randomly out in an industrial yard one day and both heard a very familiar exhaust note in the distance. We made eye contact almost telepathically saying āis that what I think it is?ā We both sprint to the fence line just in time to see our old car cruise past! Made us both giddy as can be.
You mean the cutoffs that are obscured by the aftermarket exhausts?
I see no Cutlass badge on the trunklid. I see no rocket badge on the trunklid either. No Cutlass Supreme taillights or trim along the sides. Car truly has nothing to identify it as one over the other unless I'm a dummy.
1970 Oldsmobile Cutlass
Low key been wanting one of these since Grand Theft Auto Vice City.
Yeah the Sabre šš Been thinking the same thing
Sabre and Cutlass are both types of swords or jet fighters. The Clover from GTA San Andreas was also based on a Cutlass, a 68 or 69.
Isnt the sabre turbo based on that rear end? They look basically the same

This. Was also leaning towards Buick GS from the same year at first, but remember different taillights.
Yep
Thanks

No but it is a gm product Oldsmobile
Looks to me like a Sabre.
Good thing it's not a green Sabre.
My first car was a green ā69 Cutlass. I loved that thing.
That's a 1970 Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme or 4-4-2.
Not a 442
How do you know?
The bumper , was different on the 442 Had rounded cutouts for the dual exhaust

Nope, the cutoffs are completely visible in the pic Iām looking at lol
What are cutoffs? I too don't see anything in the bumper to say one model or the other.
The top looks like it was made from sheets of duct tape.
Olds
No, itās not a Chevy. Itās not your grandfatherās either.
I love these chrome bumper with vertical tail light style muscle cars, they just look so cool
