[GTA VC] Achievement, or not?

The black admirals and the black pony behind Cherry Poppers in the "Loose
Ends" mission - are they unique in any way? (I expect if they are, it can
only be due to their colour, as they aren't fast or bullet-proof.)

The reason I ask is that through sheer bloody-mindedness, I've managed to
get them out and into the Sunshine Autos garage.

Until last night, I've only ever got the hearse, black voodoo, Diaz's
Admiral and white PCJ stored.

it's only the colour that's unique. looking at my list of cars:

i only found it once... the cops were on my tail but i dumped my car,
jacked the taxi, rushed over to sunshine autos to save it, panicked but
managed to press the 'prtscrn' button just before i got busted

funnily enough I don't think any car but the Sand King did anything
for me in VC. I did enjoy finding one hidden away in san andreas! Thos
black cars I did have a go at boosting but I was never a big collector
of rare cars. I was most disappointed the hearse didn't drop exploding
coffins when i stole it!

I was just coming out of my safehouse and nabbed it. The skid you see is me
going 'wtf' and stabbing at the Print Screen key. It got blown up, sadly,
before I coudl save it.

i've put into that game but i've only seen it once.

I saw it once, and even jacked it, but it never occurred to me it might be a
unique vehicle (I thought it must be a video glitch - see the "Hilary" post,
above).
