Albany Buccaneer in GTA 6

A two-door Albany muscle coupe drawn from the Buick Riviera, and a name earlier games — San Andreas, GTA IV and GTA V among them — already carried. Its lowrider sibling has a timed frame; this one does not yet.

Identified

Identified in Rockstar’s footage by outside editors; Rockstar has not named it. Rockstar has published no vehicle statistics for GTA 6, so this page prints none.

Is the Buccaneer in GTA 6?

Each answer carries how settled it is and who settled it. Where nobody has said, the card says that instead of guessing — and says what stays open even after the answer.

Is “Buccaneer” the official name of this vehicle in GTA 6?

Nobody has said

Not yet. “Buccaneer” is a community identification from the car’s design and badges; Rockstar has not published it for GTA 6.

GTA Intel’s record for the Buccaneer places it beside the Buccaneer Custom in Trailer 1’s car-meet shot. It keeps what Rockstar printed apart from what editors inferred: this vehicle’s name is read from the car’s design and badges. The page therefore uses “Buccaneer” as a label for what is in the footage, not as Rockstar’s word.

Still open — Whether Rockstar will use the same name when it names GTA 6’s traffic.

What is the GTA 6 Buccaneer based on in real life?

Shown, not stated

Buick Riviera, by GTA Intel’s and GTA Wiki’s reading — Rockstar never names the real vehicles it copies.

GTA Intel’s “Real-life vehicle” field for the Buccaneer reads Buick Riviera. Buick sold the Riviera from 1963 to 1999, skipping only the 1994 model year, and it was General Motors’ first personal luxury car; 1,127,261 were built in all. The note on the real model is from Wikipedia’s article, in our words.

Still open — Rockstar does not name the real vehicles it draws from — this is an editors’ reading of the shape, not a statement.

Has the Buccaneer been in earlier GTA games?

Stated

Yes — including GTA: San Andreas, GTA IV, GTA V and GTA Online.

The name returns from Rockstar’s earlier releases, which GTA Wiki lists for it. What carries over is the name and the maker; whether GTA 6’s model drives or costs the same is not known.

Still open — Whether anything beyond the name and the look carries over.

How much does the Buccaneer cost in GTA 6?

Nobody has said

Not announced. The same car costs $29,000 in GTA Online.

Rockstar has published no GTA 6 vehicle prices. $29,000 is the price in GTA Online, the previous game, as GTA Wiki records it; nothing says GTA 6 will keep it.

Still open — The GTA 6 price, and whether it can be bought at all rather than taken.

How we checked this page

The stock Buccaneer has no timed frame of its own: its only written-down appearance is beside the Custom in Trailer 1's car-meet shot, credited on that page. The list of earlier games is marked partial in our source, so the page says 'among them' rather than presenting it as complete.
