[GTA VC] Achievement, or not?

Archived from groups: alt.games.grand-theft-auto (More info?)

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.

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!
