The Buccaneer is a two-door coupé appearing in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas.
Influence[]
The Buccaneer is based on a 1970–1972 Chevrolet Monte Carlo, specifically the 1972 model, as it does not have turning signals on the bumper. Its design resembles that of the Picador, as both cars take inspiration from vehicles built upon the General Motors A platform.
Performance[]
The Picador slightly outperforms the Buccaneer in acceleration and handling, but the Buccaneer has a higher top speed. Despite its lowrider-like appearance, it can only be modified at TransFender. It houses a high power and torque large displacement V8 engine under the hood of the car.
