Well due to the name, and styling or such, I agree on it being the original Cobra.
Now that I think about it. Listing multiple cars could get real complicated, real fast.

Well nearly all of the vehicles in Mafia III take influences from more than one vehicle, but its our job to find which one is most dominant. If both of you agree (as do I) that the Cobra is the closest of the several sports cars of the era that the Opus is based on, then we should list it as a Cobra.

Well I agree with that,
Its just too bad there is no way to list cars that have had clear influence on said game car.

I'm aware that the rest of the car is completely different from the Jensen. I wasn't implying the 541 was the primary basis for the car. I was just saying the front end in particular is nearly identical.

Generally speaking, the Opus appears to be a combination of various 1960s sports cars. From the Jensen's front end, the Austin-Healey's two-tone paint scheme, the AC Cobra's coke bottle design, etc. The Cobra's front end is also pretty similar to this car's front, but I still think the Jensen is a bit closer when you consider the front bumper's design as well as the size and shape of the grille. With that being said, it's a bit difficult to say what car specifically the Opus is based on, but I have a feeling the Cobra is probably the closest we'll get.

Also from a little looking into this, It apears that it was never made as a convertible, Or roadster. and according to the Jensen wiki only Two were converted into Convertible Coupes.

I'm going to say the whole car looks like a mixture between a Cobra, and a Ferrari 250 Spyder, Look that up and the rear is rather close.

It's not a 58' Dodge Coronet, and neither is the Protector. The front is 59' Dodge Custom Royal sedan, the body is 1958 Desoto Fireflite. The 58' Coronet is a completely different car, the Viscount.

Didn't say it looked like one (recently), just said it was big like one.

The grill is much closer to a Polara. And it's a hell of a lot more slab sided than a Coronet so it makes to sense to list it as
a Polara rather than a Coronet.


It's not either of them. It's a 1967 Rambler (not AMC until 1968) Rebel SST: i1.wp.com/www.curbsideclassic.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/Rambler-Rebel-03.jpg

This car's front is flatter, but nearly everything else is spot on. The greenhouse (on both coupe and convertible), the line below the beltline, the slight coke bottle shape, etc. The taillights/rear are very similar as well, just with the Rebel's horizontal slots made vertical (still two on either side though).

I'm sorry, but I'm convinced that the whole front end of this car was directly lifted from the Jensen 541. The only real difference being that they replaced the Jensen's "grille flap" with a proper grille.

Ah thats what that was, I found it by accident before I even got to that part of the game. From the distance I thought it was an older cop car. paked up outside a house.

This looks absolutely NOTHING like a 68' Polara. www.440magnum.com/mopars/2003/january/images/1970dodpolara500a.jpg

I'll agree, it is pretty big and is the size of a full size car rather than an intermediate. But it is much curvier than the Polara, which is is all flat planes and straight edges. It is a Coronet or a Rebel inflated by 20%, not a Polara.

Anyway, worth noting that, full size or not, this is a performance/muscle car in the context of the game - it has a 4 speed manual instead of the 3 speeds in most of the other cars, and it gets to 60 in under 7 seconds.

There's very little difference between Chevrolets and Pontiacs in this era. The grille was changed to be much more similar to the Chevy: static.cargurus.com/images/site/2007/08/21/21/26/1953_chevrolet_bel_air-pic-27885-640x480.jpeg

GTA's Stallion is based off of an Oldsmobile Cutlass. Only the name has to do with Mustangs.
