Grand Theft Auto 6 continues to generate buzz long before its release, and now fans are being offered a truly unusual opportunity: the chance to own a real vehicle that Rockstar Games used during development. A 2013 Chevrolet police car, which was directly 3D-scanned to become part of GTA 6’s in-game world, has surfaced at auction—giving one lucky bidder the ability to drive the same car both in reality and inside the game.
The Car Behind the Digital Wheel
According to the auction listing, the car is no ordinary vehicle. It was specifically chosen and used by Rockstar’s development team as part of the process of creating GTA 6’s police fleet. Through 3D scanning technology, every detail of the Chevy was captured, from its exterior frame to finer features, and then transformed into a digital mesh to be implemented in the game.
This means that once GTA 6 finally launches, players may find themselves evading or commandeering a police cruiser modeled directly after this very car—a rare situation where the virtual and physical worlds collide.
What Makes This Car Unique
The vehicle is painted with Vice City police decals, staying true to the game’s Miami-inspired setting. The markings cover the doors, rear, hood, and even include a quirky custom license plate that reads “SCAREDU.” Beyond its role in the development process, the car was reportedly driven as part of GTA 6 promotional efforts, though the listing does not go into specific detail about when or where it appeared.
Importantly, the seller notes that the car is street-legal and “runs and drives.” That means the winning bidder could quite literally take it for a spin in everyday life—an almost surreal experience for fans who grew up playing Grand Theft Auto games.
Auction Details and Current Bidding
The listing began with a modest starting bid of $10, but as expected, that number didn’t last long. As of now, the vehicle has already attracted over 20 bids, pushing the price past $3,250. The car is located in Colorado, and the eventual buyer will need to handle transportation or pickup themselves once the auction ends.
Given the cultural impact of the GTA franchise, it wouldn’t be surprising if the price climbs much higher. While video game collectibles have always been popular, the chance to own a fully functional piece of development history is almost unheard of.
Why This Matters for GTA Fans
Gaming collectibles usually come in the form of statues, posters, or limited-edition consoles. But this auction represents something far more unusual—a physical item that was not just inspired by the game, but actually helped shape its creation.
For longtime GTA fans, the idea of pulling up alongside other drivers in a car they know will also be chasing criminals in GTA 6 is both surreal and exciting. Even casual observers might do a double-take seeing a Vice City–branded police car cruising down the highway.
As anticipation for GTA 6’s launch builds, this auction offers a rare chance to bridge the gap between Rockstar’s digital world and the real one. Whether it ends up in the hands of a passionate collector, a devoted fan, or simply someone looking for the ultimate conversation starter, this police car is destined to become a standout piece of gaming history.
