Can you do the famous tv show car supernatural 1967 Chevy impala use the déclassé Impaler

[@Dr-Jan-itor]

Interesting you talk about your crew black being darker. My trick is to use Metallic Black and use Black Pearl. Also makes it darker. Works the same for other colors for extra Brightness of that color too.

[@DaRealRex_122]

My custom plates aren't showing up anymore I made only 8 total and was able to use and apply them but just recently about 2 days ago I am no longer able to see them in game I can put in new orders and get the message in game but the order isn't in the customs I've tried restarting the game and everything I don't know what to do any possible fixes? I'm on PS4 and never had any problems till now they seem to have disappeared from the game what can I do any information???.

[@christianlongoria900]

@@DaRealRex_122 did you choose the car to put on

[@DaRealRex_122]

@@christianlongoria900 yes like I said I already have them placed on multiple cars they just vanished from the game.

[@reddragon4176]

They should've added a livery similar to the Ruiner Bird livery from the Ruiner ZZ-8.

[@gillysosilly9285]

Exactly

[@1977TA]

I totally agree! The bird works much better on the 2nd gen Firebirds. The 4th gen car's hood is too small, and the overall curved body does not look as good with the bird decal. Looks even worse when it is applied to the ram air hood. The decal was meant to be applied to a large flat surface which is why they look so badass on the 2nd gen car. The 3rd gen car also works well with the bird decal.

[@LoganA3806]

You should try making Boss Hoggs 1970 Cadillac Eldorado from Dukes of Hazzard. Although you can’t add horns or gun shaped door handles, I think the Manana Custom would be the best car to use

[@Lackrx]

Yeah with the longhorns

[@tunergarageesp5423]

Next up I’d like you to remake the Ramone’s Chevy Impala from the movie series Cars. A beautiful car with amazing styling based off of a beautiful car IRL that spits class and with its gorgeous glittery/glossy metallic paint 😃

[@yungkidnf]

Oh yes!

[@Talentoso23]

No more cars from cars lol I really think he should’ve done a separate series for cars like he did for fast and furious. It just feels weird for the cars saga to not have its own series too

[@optiTHOMAS]

That one has so many possibilities as he changed his paint so much! 😁👍🏻

[@tunergarageesp5423]

@@Talentoso23 bruh even tho the cars series doesn’t have its own “playlist” Ramone is a highly underrated character from the cars series. If I would of asked for Sally from Cars 1 from instance, I’d agree with your point but I don’t think he should like stop doing cars from the cars series completely IMO. Thanks for sharing your opinion tho and I understand your point but that’s how I personally see things 😄👍🫶

[@ollevb3337]

Omg yes

[@MichaelMyers689]

RIP Bandit You’ll Always Be Goin’ Eastbound And Down

[@BoxerMustangLoverAndChristian]

I like this build because the 1970s Pontiac Firebird Trans AM is pretty iconic for those two movies: Smokey and the Bandit and Rocky II.

[@GageisGreat12]

I used a wheel from the tuner category on this build. It looked similar to the stock but left a thick tire that had white lettering, like the movie

[@aahdez]

Can you make DK’s 350z using the Annis Euros? Maybe put on low grips and try drifting it. That would make a good video.

[@r0ad-tr1p]

Still waiting for ashes delta 88 from evil dead, I think the bravado greenwood would be the closest thing to the delta, and you could go for the possessed or regular version

[@Blaza303]

There is another wheel in the Street category you can use called the "Aero Star", granted, these are Aero Disc wheels but once you paint them, the resemblance is uncanny to the Firebird rims

[@Lesrock23]

I know it seems odd; but in the background of one of the later seasons of Better Call Saul, they have a real life Bravado Banshee from Rockstar's contest back in 2013 as the original winner sold it and it eventually ended up as a prop for an episode back in 2020.

[@colbysteffens2976]

Wait the Bravado Banschee is real!!!???

[@HerbertThundercock]

no way, do you know which episode?

[@Lesrock23]

The episode is Season 5 Episode 8 "Bagman"

[@bobbywilkinson5930]

Been a huge fan of this movie since i was a kid ... My father( and mother) introduced me to the movie as well and my father also had an almost identical replica of the movie car all the way down to the correct rims/tires, interior and even the bird on the hood!! Absolutely a great choice for a movie car!!! Someone already commented this, but R* really needs to make the bird livery that was released with the newer model firebird available for this version!! This car is also very underrated car in my opinion by a lot of ppl ... I have had this car since i started playing the game again in 2020 on PC ( I played on Xbox 360 back in 2015-2016 but got outta gaming for several years because I was really concentrating on my career ). But when I started a new character in 2020, this was the second car I stole off the street and turned into my daily driver bck when I was level 10-11ish and continued to be my go to car for a long time!!! I finally upgraded to the buffalo STX when I got an agency but I still have my original almost identical to the one you just built and I have won countless races and used this car in lots and lots of missions that alowwed you to use ur own vehicle and I am still winning some muscle car races with this car to this day!! It may be because I am so used to how this car drives and handles, but I have beat out some of the fastest muscle cars including the new camero( vireo ZX), Buffalo STX, etc. I think it is really, really cool that we have such a similar real life background with this vehicle (father and mother introducing me to the movie and I instantly fell in love with it as a young child and watched it over and over with my father and mother ... My father also owning almost an identical replica of the car for years!!) Unfortunately someone stole my fathers while he was at work one night and crashed/totaled it running from the police ... A very bad choice of cars to steal since it was so easily recognizable in my little home town in southern TN as a child. He didn't even make it to the next county over before the cops got behind him and he was a 19 year old, inexperienced driver that had no idea how to handle that much power so it was a very short chase, lol! ( it also had the very large motor that was in the original). Anyway, thank you so much for doing this car ( I have requested it several times in the comments of your other vehicle movie car remakes ). Watching this brings back so many amazing memories with my father and mother( but unfortunately alcohol got control of my father when I was a young teen, 10-12 yrs old and we haven't saw or even talked to each other in almost 8 years now so again, than you for the rekindled good memories from my early childhood in the early to mid 90's❤!!!! I apologize for the long comment but this car holds a very special place in my heart and I will have one in real life hopefully very soon!! Thank you for all of the amazing vids you put out and all the hard work, time and effort you put into these vids for us, the GTAO community💯!!! Keep up the amazing work and I hope your having a wonderful day today!!!✌

[@stefa_]

Wouldn't the Street category Aero Star wheels be good too? They have the mesh design, silver outline and you can make the space between the silver any color you want

[@hitechkevin8929]

Exactly what i’m thinking…

[@DigitalCarAddict]

i tried those and didn't like the way they looked personally

[@Malboja]

This has always been one of my favourite cars in the game

[@Topo842]

Since I first saw it in Vice City I was in love with this car I wish I could own a Trans AM or a '79 Camaro Z28

[@irvinalexanderflores]

Oh I'm glad you're doing this one I was gonna recommend it a while back

[@holdenmcgroin5003]

The Dodge Challenger or Chevy Nova from Death Proof would be cool to see

[@CamoSquid]

I've never seen the movie, but this is always the build I imagine when I think of the car in general, so I'll be updating mine as necessary.

[@TheGaspGuy]

The truck from the movie The Expendables would be great choice for the series.

[@yungkidnf]

Reaper f100 💪🏿💪🏿💪🏿

[@Demon666x3]

Still waiting for the bluesmobile from the blues brothers movie. Its Iconic in its own right.

[@optiTHOMAS]

Absolutely beautiful! Nice og car! Always love the nice black and gold! Very striking and classy color combo! Good stuff! 😁👍🏻

[@thenorthfaceenthusiast6230]

I literally wanted this, thank you so much

[@Mr.Strickland-21]

I used to watch Smokey and the Bandit when I was a child, born in the mid 70's!!! Great video!!! 😎🤙💯

[@Non-Negotiable]

Yay been asking since you made this series! Thanks DCA! ❤

[@ryry47ftw]

I remember when I commented awhile back saying you should recreate this, glad you did turned out cool!

[@chriswilson3126]

I rewatched smokey and the bandit not too long back. Still a great movie. Very funny with some great action, and indeed the car is am icon.

[@benjohnson8175]

Thank you for doing bandit's trans am. Definitely a car build I plan to add to my GTA online garage.

[@BrantleyFore]

Man I’m not high level enough to have all the fancy stuff but I made it work and it looks awesome thank you man I just found the car in game and clicked on your video the second I got it

[@urdads_bolos]

As a Transformers fan, I'd love to see you do a bunch of cars from the new film coming out in a few weeks. Especially the skyline and Porsche. Maybe some cars from the old films as well.

[@optiTHOMAS]

Absolutely! There's so many options you could do! I've been making a bunch of G1 inspired car builds for a bit! It's very fun! 😁👍🏻

[@colestrains1]

Bumblebee build??? The one where it’s Sams first car

[@goldennhawk099]

I'm a big fan from firebird, when i was kid i remember to saw a firebird in car meet in my country which is rare.I loved the gold trim and hawk.I use as gamertag goldennhawk because of firebird.

[@astro3150]

Been waiting for this one 🫡

[@linkin6992]

wow i love these movie builds, might be annoying to find the cars if you don’t watch the show but there’s a few cars from the online show, “Roadkill” that i’ve seen no one recreate although R* has made it clear w/ the beater dukes and the arena war slamvan

[@GavinR34]

Would be great to see Tommy’s mustang from Power!! Looking forward to watching this when I get home from work.

[@jerryhamer]

Actually guys the best place to find this car is drive a muscle car down to the docks. You will find it in no time and if you cant right away set spawn to last location and change lobbies

[@davesmith3565]

awesome you listened to my suggestion kick ass!

[@PythonHead10]

a tip for the ducktail spoiler is that you can buy a mid level spoiler in the ls custom and switch back to stock, that should work

[@IanRB26]

Autobot Crosshairs , specifically from Transformers : The Last Knight using the OG Coquette.

[@BrunoNinethree]

Should look much better If rockstar added decals for It, but still looks Crazy! ❤

[@lakotahiltz5629]

I love this bc it's based off my favorite movies. Also not only was the T/A in the first movie the 77, I believe the second movie had the 78 in it.

[@yungkidnf]

Yeap, and the third movie had an 80 model similar to KITT from Knight Rider

[@nickrustyson8124]

@@yungkidnf How the hell are both of you are so wrong, KITT was a 3rd gen, Smokey and the Bandit part 2 had a 1980 Turbo Trans Am

[@colestrains1]

I would love to see you doing snot rod from cars, the imponte imperator is probably the closest because of the exhaust but the gauntlet classic would work as well

[@skunclep1938]

Showing my age, but the first large model I made was the foot long Firebird back in 1979. Same “Bandit” build. I was a bit disappointed because I wanted a C3 ‘Vette for xmas instead…

[@giuseppetodisco2588]

There is actually a way to find it every time: start the prison tuner contract and start the first preparation, once you drive lil dee's car go to the first location in which he gets off his car to talk to a dude and there is always a phoenix next to him or near me, simply get in, destroy lil dee's car or kill him in someway and drive to the nearest LS Custom and put insurance and tracker

[@finnjones7509]

You don't have to find a new Phoenix if it doesn't have the stock spoiler. You can just buy a custom spoiler, then buy the stock one back, and it should be there.

[@valentinhock3346]

The best car movie ever!

[@SirKev]

Could you try creating Optimus Prime (from Transformers: Rise of the Beasts) using the “Hauler Custom” Mobile Operation Center? It’s simple but still really cool.

[@optiTHOMAS]

Absolutely! I made mine into optimus! So many great options for transformers as there's so many cars to choose from! I've been doing G1 inspired car builds recently! 😁👍🏻

[@Wesley_C]

This car is looked so iconic, Burt Reynolds will be missed.

[@yettai1995]

It would be so cool if they added a Beater version of the phoenix in the future!

[@ROTTENTREATS_X]

They need to go back and add the liveries from the other firebird to this so we can get the bird for the hood

[@NoBev8223]

Im not sure about new gen, but on Xbox1 if you find the Phoenix without the ducktail, you can just buy a spoiler and and put the stock back on and it should give you a ducktail.

[@dee2offcial991]

Approved 👍👍👍

[@chegmeow]

to find the Imponte Phoenix just head to the bottom of the map on right at the docks keep driving around and it will spawn.

[@HeatherthefurryIrishRedSoxfan]

Well, there's also the. Ruiner It looks more like the t-top trans am and the special version of it the ruiner 2000. Is based off of KITT Which is also a Pontiac trans am

[@coolestyoutubereveralive123]

thankss

[@Talentoso23]

Hey DCA, just a suggestion and something maybe Allen can help you with. I’d suggest putting the MP100 yellow on the stock wheels of the Phoenix as race yellow looks too much on the green side. The MP100 yellow is a lot better looking imo

[@RDRZY]

Amazing video bro! I'd love to see Walter White's Pontiac Aztek in gta

[@DigitalCarAddict]

Unfortunately we don't have that vehicle in the game

[@RJ-pr6mj]

I Benny's Phoenix would be cool to see

[@jacobholmquist6881]

@DigitalCarAddict how did you make the firebird crew emblem. I couldnt find it to copy to the emblem creator. Please let me know im trying to make this car.

[@ferdany1687]

I’d love to see Betsabelle from “The Green Hornet”. Obviously it would be entirely cosmetic, but I just really like the car.

[@provsyou]

On low rider wheels you could always use the atomic tyres to look a little like the goodyear tyres

[@JohnWick...]

This is basically the Sons car from HotLine Miami 2, a real video game masterpiece

[@ashtraysonsundays4274]

Does anyone else think Burt Reynolds looks like Pedro Pascal? I miss the days when action TV was just "Actor + Car". This, Starsky and Hutch, Nightrider, Dukes of Hazzard. Keeping with the theme how about the Dodge Viper from the show Viper. You remember that show. It was about a guy who owned a Dodge Viper that could turn into another Dodge Viper

[@CamoSquid]

I'd like to see any of the need for speed cars, but specifically the shelby, the bttf DeLorean, and Barricade from transformers 5

[@BorisShpilevoy]

You can paint your stock wheels. The glitch still works.

[@DLordSadow]

Please do a as video on the Penguin’s Maserati from the Batman next!

[@isaiahmarquez454]

this car spawns all across the map i mostly see them in the city but theres a ton of them always driving around in the city and they’re easy to find because they are always painted in really bright colors such as green and yellow, red and orange, blue etc.

[@TheUmbreonGuy]

How about Jackson Storm from Cars 3. Curious what car you'll use for him.

[@mikemasaki8193]

Rockstar really is missing out on not giving us a benny's version of this car...

[@elyshabascomb9379]

You should do Marty's 4x4 from Back to the Futire!!!

[@Irish_tiger]

How did you get the painted stock wheels, I looked online and can't find anything

[@Joemomma475]

Death proof Chevy nova has a direct reference livery on the Vamos called “sure it’s safe?” Not sure you’ve done that one already but just wanted to let you know and help the algo

[@pdennis93]

I have a custom crew with the bird logo as my crew emblem. I also have glitched bronze stock wheels too. *,edit* 3:29 yup, I bet that's one of my 2 crews, Phoenix Trans Am or Phoenix Trans Am 2. I.made those waybback on 360 in 2013.
