This is a list of special vehicles in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas. Special vehicles are a type of vehicle that has unique qualities in contrast to standard ones. Such of these are unique/permanent colors and proofing against bullets, explosions, fire, or collisions.

| Melee-proof | MP | The vehicle does not receive any damage from melee attacks (i.e. stomping or punching the vehicle). This does not protect the vehicle from collision damage if not coupled with Damage-proofing. | Yes |
| Tip-proof | TP | The vehicle will not catch fire when flipped onto its roof. | Only in Liberty City Stories or Vice City Stories. |

- Destroying a proofed vehicle
Proofed vehicles are not indestructible. There are many of ways to wreck a BP/FP/EP/DP/MP vehicle, including:
- Flipping the car up-side down. (Won't work on tip-proof vehicles).
- Sinking the car in the water. (This is considered destruction by the game's rules, but it can be pushed out of water and it will work.)
- Using the Blow Up All Cars cheat.
- Getting in the vehicle while the player is on fire.
- Using a car bomb to detonate the vehicle.
- Taking it to a girlfriends' house and having coffee with her. The car will lose its special property and simply become normal again.
- Starting the Lowrider Challenge will remove its special properties.
- Punching the vehicle using a Parachute.
