GTA V SPECIAL VEHICLE GUIDE
FOR XBOX 360 & PS3
Special Vehicle Properties Legend:
EC (UC) = Exclusive Colour or Unique Colour - Vehicle has a visible primary and secondary colour combination that doesn't match traffic defaults and LS Customs colour lists. Often also includes special rim colours.
EC2 (UC2) = Exclusive Colour 2 or Unique Colour 2 - Vehicle has an invisible secondary colour that doesn't match traffic defaults and LS Customs colour lists.
EL/EPC (UL/UPC) = Exclusive Luster/Pearlescent or Unique Luster/Pearlescent - Vehicle has a luster (called pearlescent in GTA V) that doesn't match traffic defaults and LS Customs pearlescent list.
Lustered = Lustered - Vehicle's luster (called pearlescent in GTA V) is chosen randomly every time you start the mission. Make note that you need to know which luster is special before obtaining, because when the luster is randomised, it also includes lusters from LS Customs pearlescent list, thus some are not special.
ETS (UTS) = Exclusive Tire Smoke or Unique Tire Smoke - Vehicle has a colourful tire smoke which cannot be found in traffic. There are no other special smoke colours other than black so it only goes with vehicles which cannot be modded, as black tire smoke itself is found in LS Customs. Be careful, as impounding, loading a save, switching and saving into interior garages delete this property.
PP = Pop Proof - Vehicle has tires which cannot be popped by gunfire and road spikes. This property cannot be saved in safehouse garages.
EP (UP) = Exclusive Plate or Unique Plate - Vehicle has a license plate that cannot be found anywhere except on that particular vehicle. It can be unique, set (matches usual plate design standards) or completely white.
NE = No Extras - Vehicle lacks something that it usually has, e.g. a Taxi with no roof light, a Mixer with no mixer in the back.
EE (UE) = Exclusive Extras or Unique Extras - Vehicle has extras (liveries, modifications) that cannot be found on usual this type of vehicles.
Unique = Unique - Vehicle is featured only in a certain mission, you can never find one outside that mission.
Identifying the colour differences: In GTA V there exist four main colour types: metallic, matte, worn and utility. There is also a category called other, but it goes for a few special colours which do not appear either in traffic or LS Customs lists. Classic and metals are counted into metallic and they all can spawn in traffic along with worn and utility type. In LS Customs, only metallic (classic, metals) and matte are available, which makes non-traffic worn and utility unique. Here is a short description how to identify colours:
-metallic (also classic & metals) - reflects light, most common colour type, can be seen both in traffic and LS Customs. Classic is a variant of metallic which always spawns with no pearlescent applied, so it looks clean. The colour itself is not different from its metallic variant.
-matte - does not reflect anything, pearlescents are barely seen, can be seen in LS Customs and rarely in traffic
-utility - acts exactly like metallic, but does not exist in LS Customs, only in traffic
-worn - like matte, but looks more oily when seen under sun, also pearlescents are much better seen. Not in LS Customs, only in traffic
-other - is seen on a few specific vehicles in missions, like epsilon blue on Epsilon vehicles. Not seen in LS Customs or traffic.
Garages And Impounds:
Garages: Every GTA V save can hold a maximum of 20 road vehicles safely, 3 helicopters, 3 boats and 3 planes. Interior garages have a maximum space of 4, safehouse garages 2 and strip club parking also 2 vehicles. In the early state of the story, you can also use Franklin's aunt's house for 2 special vehicles (although one should be a bike, it is very small), or Trevor's Vespucci condo for 2 as well. Be aware though, these saving places are not recommended, they are temporary places and willing to eat your saved vehicles randomly in some parts of the story. Other vehicles can be saved only one per character. When you don't have internet for some reason, you have no online access and are not able to buy a hangar, marina, helipad and an interior garage early in the game. You can try completing Epsilon Program for 2,100,000$ for Michael or collect briefcases on sea floors to earn money, 2 spaces is surely not enough. All saving places except for interior garage become available after mission "Nervous Ron". [When interiors then?]
Impounds: You can also save road vehicles into impounds to get additional 6 saving spaces. In order to do it, you should know how they work.
-To impound, you have to mod the vehicle somehow in LS Customs. The easiest way is to equip a new plate type. Then abandon the vehicle by leaving it far behind and it should be impounded. Alternatively, any vehicle that has been taken out of your interior garage, will be impounded. (I was able to impound the snow variant of Stockade).
-To avoid discarding by random vehicles, just do not use any "impoundable" traffic cars while passing the story. Use character vehicles, taxi service, planes, boats, helicopters, trucks or industrial vehicles.
Glitches And Notes:
GLITCHES:
GLITCH 1: Teleport Into Locked Vehicle (removed by patch 1.07)
This glitch helps you to obtain locked Special Vehicles from missions, but you have to downgrade your game to remove all updates in order to do it. Simply stand in front of a locked vehicle, open your phone camera and while it opens, rapidly press Y or Triangle and for some reason, player gets teleported onto a driver seat. If you accidentally leave the vehicle and close the door, you can use the same trick again.
GLITCH 2: Save Any Road Vehicle In Interior Garage (removed by patch 1.21)
This trick allows you to save trucks, vans, buses as well as cars into an interior garage. Pretty cool, huh? This is extremely helpful if you have trouble with garage management. Just drive a vehicle you want to store in front of the garage door and get out. Game says "press -> to enter a garage". Now enter your vehicle instead and while the character is entering, press the -> key. Screen goes black, but your vehicle should still spawn inside. Don't worry if it is doing funny dance moves between the ceiling and a floor, you should still be able to enter it.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Never save a HWY Dump in there. It is the only vehicle that is too big for it, and after entering, you along with all your saved vehicles will fall into a grey hell. Only one who survives this fall, is the player.... ALSO never store something big as a fourth vehicle. If you save e.g. a Phantom to the slot nearest to the door, player can NEVER enter this garage again, and all 4 vehicles are gone + game crashes.
GLITCH 3: Tire Rack + Gray Hell
This glitch allows you to get some Special Vehicles with an extraordinary teleportation glitch. You have to jump onto a tire rack in your interior garage and get stuck. For further details check out the Video by fnxrak .
GLITCH 4: LS Customs Trick
This is a simple trick that can allow you to obtain various vehicles featured in missions. It only applies to vehicles that can actually be driven during the mission, though. Once inside the vehicle of choice, go to an LS Customs garage. Enter and modify the vehicle in some way. This will set it as the "active" vehicle for that character, and it will appear parked nearby after the mission ends, even if it's a mission-important vehicle. However, sometimes the vehicle in question will be impounded instead; in that case, just go to the impound lot and pay to get it out of impound. Some missions result in a message stating that LS Customs is closed. In these cases, it is sometimes possible to "re-open" them by failing the mission and choosing to retry.
GLITCH 5: Equip A Pearlescent On Any Moddable Vehicle
This trick allows you to add a unusual pearlescent on a vehicle colour that usually does not allow changing pearlescents (matte, worn, utility, metals). Just drive one of this type of vehicles listed into LS Customs. Take a look at metallic colour list in LS Customs, exit, equip yourself a new plate and now when going back to primary colour section, you can see that the pearlescent menu is available. Just equip any pearlescent and now you can have a matte/worn/utility/metal vehicle with a customised pearlescent!
NOTES:
NOTE 1: This guide is based on a first original (1.00) version of XBOX 360/PS3 GTA V, so you need to downgrade your game before obtaining, it makes your job easier and helps to get the most out of special vehicles. To do so, make sure that first you have The Beach Bum and San Andreas Flight School online DLCs downloaded along with GTA Title update and then complete the mission called "Franklin and Lamar". Wait for Simeon's call and then save, exit the game. Delete all updates (Title update and online DLCs, you can re-download them any time) and take out the auto-update option. When you play the game now, you are able to use all the glitches from the GLITCHES section and obtain unique vehicles that were later patched; as a bonus, the interior garages, helipads, hangars, and marinas are now open.
NOTE 2: Let's say you have completed a save and now want to patch the game again. Then, all safehouse vehicles spawn with a license plate reading ALAN 0. It is just the overlay, so you can remove it. Drive around for a while with this vehicle, or switch characters, both replace the ALAN 0 with the original one you had before.
NOTE 3: If a vehicle is broken, you can retrieve it by switching characters. Helpful with special vehicles which' engine is damaged. Sometimes a game decides to make your vehicle vanish after switch though, so pray for that better not happen.
NOTE 4: GTA V's safehouse garages have a desperate need of eating vehicles, at least it's how it seems for some players. It is rather easy to avoid. Just after you store something, ALWAYS look at the garage if it closes. Drive far away, come back and look if it saved. Some missions don't allow saving into safehouses after completion. Also check your garage ALWAYS when you switched to a character who was in his own house. Sometimes the game is too slow to spawn garage vehicles and they disappear. This frequently happens with Franklin's aunt's house garage.
NOTE 5: The game also has "periods", which will make character's garages seem empty during the specific moments in the storyline. This happens with Michael when he lives out in the Sandy Shores, or Franklin's new house for a random period after Michael and Trevor returning to LS [Figure that out, ass]. Don't worry, your vehicles should spawn back, just check after each mission. If they don't spawn even after [], check if you followed NOTE 4 correctly.
NOTE 6: Never choose to kill someone in the end if you want to keep all garage spaces. Killing Michael/Trevor causes at least 10 vehicle capacity just disappear, but many vehicles can be obtained from one-time events even after 100% completion. So always pick option C. Luckily it's the best ending 
NOTE 7: Unless you choose to pick the best vehicles for a one complete savegame, 1 savefile is clearly not enough to obtain them ALL. Definitely choose different heist options to get everything out of the game. Also, a starter save should be your best friend. I suggest doing the following:
- Start a new game, fill garages with first vehicles available. Then save the game to a different slot, and complete the old one 100% (or story, if you don't care). When finished, take your saved slot, now dump all the vehicles which you already obtained, and take another set of vehicles without starting a new game! Then save on a new slot, again complete the game on an old, and load a saved slot, another set.. this is a good strategy to skip annoying things in the beginning, e.g. Scrap Letters, Under the Bridges, Stunt Jumps...as you don't have to do them repeatedly.
Special Vehicle List:
PROPERTY CHECK IN PROGRESS
DO NOT OBTAIN ANYTHING! (guide is broken, but will be fixed soon.)
-The guide is based on version 1.00, check NOTE 1 to check if you have one.
-Always check all sections before obtaining, e.g. some switch event vehicles can only be obtained in a certain period of the story.
-Also check the next vehicle after your chosen one, sometimes they can be obtained from different heist setups, and the second vehicle may be much better for you.
-This guide may include spoiling content in the descriptions.

How To Obtain:
Main Story Missions:
1.0. UC Worn Blue Silver Gallivanter Baller
Mission: Repossession
Pass or fail: -
Requirements: Small Towtruck & Hand Gun
How to obtain: Welcome to obtaining special vehicles in GTA V! This is a nice vehicle that features a worn variant of bluish sliver which is not found anywhere else in the game. First of all, I will be explaining how to get this and 1.1 UC2 Metallic Blue Silver Benefactor Schwartzer at the same time. This is rather simple, but takes some time, and is much quicker if you obtain these two together. It is a pre-mission vehicle so you don't need to start the mission to obtain. What you want to do first is to drive all the way to Paleto Bay on top of the map and look for a small version towtruck near the Beeker's Garage. One should always spawn, parked next to the garage door. Jack it and drive all the way back to Los Santos. Another thing you need is a handgun, take one from any spawn location or earn money and buy it, 2 bullets is enough for now. Next, drive your towtruck back of the dealership and make sure you DON'T enter it. Instead, shoot a bullet inside and the mission should be "disrupted". Tow e.g. a Baller into Franklin's garage, follow NOTE 2 in the guide and then, in order to store the UC2 Schwartzer as well, store Baller into interior garage. You can now place the towtruck into Franklin's garage so you don't need to bring another from Paleto Bay. Do the same for the UC2 Schwartzer and now you have obtained first two special vehicles from GTA V!

1.1. UC2 Metallic Blue Silver Benefactor Schwartzer
Mission: Repossession
Pass or fail: -
Requirements: Small Towtruck & Hand Gun
How to obtain: Check 1.0. UC Worn Blue Silver Gallivanter Baller in order to obtain this and the UC2 Schwartzer together. This is one of two vehicles in GTA V that feature an invisible UC2. You cannot edit secondary colour on Schwarzer in LS Customs, but it still exists and can be seen via editor. The colour is blue silver (in LS Customs list bluish silver) which is not unique itself, but traffic default Schwartzers share usually the same colour as primary and secondary, and you can never find this one in traffic. I guess it is made special because the Baller is also painted blue silver.
Notes: -
1.2. UC Worn Light Orange Bravado Bison
Mission: Repossession
Pass or fail: Fail
Requirements: GLITCH 1
How to obtain: In this mission you can get two UC Bisons, this one is the easier one. Again you have the opportunity to obtain the very special worn variants, a variant which doesn't even exist in LS Customs. Simply do the mission like normal until you have to walk behind Lamar in the alleyway. Soon you will see this UC orange Bison sitting there, parked and doors locked. Simply use GLITCH 1, you will be teleported into vehicle and the mission will be failed. Exit, find a way out of the alley (gates are stuck, but there are wide-enough gaps between houses) and save it to your garage. This Bison can also be obtained while passing the mission, but it is not suggested, as in GTA V there are no mission attempts in the stats and you will skip UC green Bison, as those two have to be obtained separately either way. But, as the UC green Bison needs a failure, you can first obtain this and later return to UC orange Bison. Continue with the mission until the shootout begins. Kill first set of Vagos, and leave one next to the gas tank alive. At this point, jack the Bison so the game can register that you have used it. When the engine starts, get out of the car and kill every other Vago that shows up in the mission, but make sure you stand near the Bison. After everyone is dead, get into your Bison and drive out the alleyway, a bike should appear. Wait and make sure that Lamar enters YOUR Bison, as he will first enter a vehicle you used when you arrived to mission point, but if you hang near him, he changes his mind and enters your Bison instead. Now, simply chase the bike down and complete the mission, the Bison will be sitting in the parking space, and you have now obtained the UC worn light orange Bison, along with a mission pass!

1.3. UC Worn Dark Green Bravado Bison
Mission: Repossession
Pass or fail: Fail
Requirements: GLITCH 1
How to obtain: This Bison is only a bit more tedious to obtain, but still a must-be in your UC Bison collection. After you start the mission, drive a little bit further from the actual destination, like shown in the video. Exit your car, jump over the fence and slowly sneak behind the UC green Bison. Be aware though, you have to use the GLITCH 1, but you MUSTN'T touch the Bison, sometimes Vagos inside will be interrupted, the mission will be instantly failed, and the Bison disappears after you exit. fnxrak managed to pull this off while he touched the Bison, however it is all boiled down to luck. Just stand as close to it as possible, perform the camera trick, exit the mission and drive away using some alternative ways exactly how you did for the orange Bison, because the gates are stuck here, too. Save it to your garage and this UC Worn Dark Green Bison is fully yours!
Notes: -
1.4. UC Worn White Bravado Bison
Mission: Complications
Pass or fail: Fail
Requirements: GLITCH 1
How to obtain: This is another nice Bison to add to your list, and it's pretty easy as well. It is not the usual Bison, we can get a different Mighty Bush company variant with a wooden roof rack. All you have to do is follow the mission normally until you have to enter Michael's house using this UC white Bison to jump on. Instead, use GLITCH 1 and exit the mission when it is failed. Franklin will be on foot, but this Bison is parked right next to him. Simply take it and store to any garage!

1.5. UC/UP [57EIG117] Worn Taxi Yellow Karin BeeJay XL
Mission: Complications
Pass or fail: Pass
Requirements: -
How to obtain: This is Jimmy's BeeJay you use to drive into the dealership. After the mission is completed, this UC/UP BeeJay will still be inside the dealership window, so simply take it and store into garage. It also has a unique louder engine sound, which is apparently unobtainable. PP property is also added on this vehicle, but it's doable in LS Customs anytime.
Notes: ! ! ! If you leave the area or switch characters and then return to dealership without entering this BeeJay, it will still be there until Father/Son is completed. However, the UP feature will be converted into random plate and the PP feature will be removed as well, making it just UC Worn Taxi Yellow Karin BeeJay XL. ! ! !
1.6. UWC Pure White Karin BeeJay XL
Mission: Complications
Pass or fail: Pass
Requirements: -
How to obtain: Also check vehicle 1.7. UWC Pure White Obey Tailgater and 1.8. UPC/UWC Matte Yellow/Pure White Obey Tailgater as these three can be obtained via same strategy. These are the vehicles found inside the dealership after completing the mission, 2 Karin BeeJays and 2 Obey Tailgaters. Those give us a wheel colour that is not in LS Customs list, and one yellow Tailgater gives us a UPC as a bonus. Simply choose which one you like more and drive it to your garage. You can also obtain both BeeJay and Tailgater by double-driving to Michael's safehouse. If you return later, the red Karin BeeJay is replaced with another matte yellow BeeJay, which is NOT unique because is doable via GLITCH 5. It acts similar to other vehicles - first time it's seen it's with pure white wheels, but returning to the area later turns them into alloy.
Notes: ! ! ! This vehicle is UWC ONLY after completing the mission. Returning to the area later or switching characters causes the wheel colour to become usual alloy. You can save it in any garage, though. ! ! !
1.7. UWC Pure White Obey Tailgater
Mission: Complications
Pass or fail: Pass
Requirements: -
How to obtain: Check vehicle 1.6. UWC Pure White Karin BeeJay XL for the strategy. This Tailgater is seen in a blue colour.
Notes: ! ! ! This vehicle is UWC ONLY after completing the mission. Returning to the area later or switching characters causes the wheel colour to become usual alloy. You can save it in any garage, though. ! ! !
1.8. UPC/UWC Matte Yellow/Pure White Obey Tailgater
Mission: Complications
Pass or fail: Pass
Requirements: -
How to obtain: Check vehicle 1.6. UWC Pure White Karin BeeJay XL for the strategy. This yellow Tailgater features a unique pearlescent. It is unique, as usually you can only equip or see a metallic version of it. The pearlescent vehicle can be obtained between missions "Franklin and Lamar" and "Mr. Philips", however without a UWC.
Notes: ! ! ! This vehicle is UWC ONLY after completing the mission. Returning to the area later or switching characters causes the wheel colour to become usual alloy. You can save it in any garage, though. ! ! ! Also, this particular UPC can only be kept in a safehouse garage. ! ! !
1.9. UP [Blank] Canis Mesa (1 of 3)
Mission: Complications
Pass or fail: Pass
Requirements: -
How to obtain: This is the last special vehicle you can get from this mission, and it's pretty cool and easy one as well. All you have to do is switch to Franklin after completing the mission, he will be talking on the phone. Turn around and walk a bit, soon you will easily notice a Mesa with a completely empty license plate. Jack it and store into a garage. As it is the last vehicle from Complications in the list, I suggest obtaining it after everything else as well. Obtain UWC vehicles or UC/UP Beejay before that, you can even double-drive and waste time, but you can still get this Mesa if you haven't switched yet. Good luck with this mission! It also has PP and BTS properties, but they can both be added in LS Customs.
Notes: -
2.0. UP [LAMAR G] Vapid Speedo (1 of 3)
Mission: Chop
Pass or fail: Pass
Requirements: -
How to obtain: This is one of those vehicles you are simply given after mission, although it can also be got after 100% completion. When the mission ends, you will still be driving this UP Speedo, save it and that's it!
Notes: -

2.1. UC Metallic Light Brown Brute Boxville (1 of 3)
Mission: Father/Son
Pass or fail: Fail
Requirements: -/GLITCH 2 if you want
How to obtain: Another main mission, another set of vehicles. First you will meet this Boxville which can be actually obtained after 100% as well, but can be a headache; this mission is actually the easiest to take this brown Boxville from. Do the mission like normal until you have to shoot a guy on a yacht. Then, Jimmy should say "It's the guy from the dealership!" At this point, this Boxville should show up driving on your lane, quickly stop your car in front of it and jack it. If you manage to drive the Boxville before the mission fails, you can exit. Store this into safehouse garage or use GLITCH 2 for interior garage and go hunt for a next special vehicle. If you miss that one, there should later appear another brown Boxville on the highway intersection between two big bridges, driving on opposite lane. You can jack that one too.

2.2. UC Metallic White Atomic Declasse Burrito (1 of 2)
Mission: Father/Son
Pass or fail: Fail
Requirements: -/GLITCH 2 if you want
How to obtain: This is a nice opportunity to obtain UC white Burritos with ease; different liveries and variants all featured in the same mission. Also take a look at 2.3. UC Metallic White Pharte Gas Declasse Burrito (1 of 3) as those can be obtained via same technique. The Burrito will show up a bit later in the mission than the brown Boxville, it is driving on your lane on top of the biggest bridge in LS. You will notice this white colour from the distance for sure. Interestingly enough, the mission features 4 liveries, but only 2 - white Atomic and white Pharte Gas are unique. McGill-Olsen and LSDWP are traffic-defaults so if you see them, simply lose the yacht and retry the mission. Checkpoint is just before the meeting point with a Burrito, so if you see the proper livery, pull up straight in front of the van, jack it, make sure Michael drives it and then exit the mission, since it will be failed. Take it to your garage and you can start the mission again to obtain a second UC white Burrito too, but it is not suggested, as both UC variants come up later in the story. If you want, then you can choose from different roof-design-jam as well, since every Burrito features 4 different roof designs, from being totally empty to having pipes and ladders on it.

2.3. UC Metallic White Pharte Gas Declasse Burrito (1 of 3)
Mission: Father/Son
Pass or fail: Fail
Requirements: -/GLITCH 2 if you want
How to obtain: Check 2.2. UC Metallic White Atomic Declasse Burrito (1 of 2) as those can be obtained via same technique.
Notes: -
2.4. PP/BTS/UP/NE [Blank] Taxi (1 of 3)
Mission: Father/Son
Pass or fail: Pass
Requirements: -
How to obtain: This is definitely, without doubt, the coolest variant of taxi you could have across all other GTA series. Lightless taxi in GTA V with pop proof tires and empty plate - man, this is a must be. And it is very easy to obtain as well, no need to fail the mission. As soon as you pass the mission, switch to Michael, he will be exiting this taxi. Usually all PP/BTS/UP vehicles are parked, but this one you have to jack as soon as you gain control over Michael by holding the Y/Triangle button, otherwise you will just lose it, which is pretty dumb. Drive it into your preferred garage and that's it! Note that the same taxi can be obtained later in the game as well, but both late methods are not so easy as this one, and finding the right switch event for one can be a headache. So why let go?
Notes: ! ! ! Saving it in safehouse garage deletes the PP property, and interior garage and impound delete the BTS property. So take your pick. ! ! !
2.5. UE (winch) Bravado Bison
Mission: Marriage Counseling
Pass or fail: -
Requirements: GLITCH 1
How to obtain: This is a nice variant of the usual McGill Olsen Bison in the game, featuring a permanent winch in the back. Also check 2.7. UC Utility Red Dinka Blista as those are both, again, pre-mission vehicles that do not require you to start the mission and can be obtained similarly. When you reach Michael's house, just walk in front of a vehicle you want and use GLITCH 1 to jack it. Drive it to any garage and all the work is done! Be careful though, you don't want to accidentally walk into yellow marker near the Bison.
Notes: ! ! ! It is suggested that you obtain this vehicle with Michael, and trade it with Franklin later, if you need. When you walk inside Michael's garden using Franklin, the coach will be pushed out of the window and the mission starts. ! ! !

2.6. UC Utility Red Dinka Blista
Mission: Marriage Counseling
Pass or fail: -
Requirements: GLITCH 1
How to obtain: Check 2.6. UE (winch) Bravado Bison for the strategy.
Notes: ! ! ! It is suggested that you obtain this vehicle with Michael, and trade it with Franklin later, if you need. When you walk inside Michael's garden using Franklin, the coach will be pushed out of the window and the mission starts. ! ! !
2.7. UC/UC2 Matte White/Metallic Dark Blue Zirconium Journey
Mission: Marriage Counseling
Pass or fail: Fail
Requirements: -/GLITCH 2 if you want
How to obtain: This is a very unique variant of the Journey, as it features 2 visible unique colours. Which makes them unique, is the fact that you cannot mod a Journey in LS Customs. Obtaining is not so hard: when you have to chase the coach, this Journey backs up in front of you near a hillside house and stops your chase. Simply exit the Bison, jack the Journey and abandon Franklin. Mission will be failed, exit it and save it to a garage you like more.
Notes: -
2.8. UC2/UP [07KZF345] Worn Black Albany Emperor
Mission: The Long Stretch
Pass or fail: Fail
Requirements: -
How to obtain: After competing Marriage Counseling, this additional mission should occur for Franklin. It features a nice vehicle with a visible secondary colour, which is a unique worn variant above everything else as well. Not so hard to steal, too. When the mission starts, try to jack the car and drive away while leaving Stretch, Lamar or both behind. Mission fails because of abandoning your homies, exit and go save it into your preferred garage. This one can also be obtained while passing the mission, but it is a lot more tedious, requires you to use GLITCH 4 and also, GTA V doesn't have mission attempts stat, so it is much less time consuming when simply failing it. You can obtain the next special vehicle by passing the mission, though.

2.9. UP [345MTA729] Albany Cavalcade
Mission: The Long Stretch
Pass or fail: Pass
Requirements: -
How to obtain: This is quite a cool vehicle as it features a plate reading MTA, which could possibly mean Multi Theft Auto, as this one can be used as a getaway vehicle by Franklin, Lamar and Stretch. This is a way to obtain it. When you reach the point in the mission where you have to jump over the wall and escape from cops, this Cavalcade should be parked nearby, headlights on and surrounded with people. Just jack it and wait for your homies to get in, then evade the police. I suggest using the nearby tram tunnel, as cops won't search underground. Then you can keep the vehicle after you pass the mission.
Notes: -
3.0. UC2/UE (Humane Labs And Research livery) Metallic White Brute Boxville
Mission: BZ Gas Grenades
Pass or fail: Pass
Requirements: -/GLITCH 2 if you want
How to obtain: You cannot do much by yourself in order to steal it from mission, as the mission itself is about stealing this van. Pay attention though because obtaining it is pretty easy to miss. So you have to take certain steps if you want to get this one most easily. When you approach the Hs letter, jack the Boxville and evade the cops. It might take a while with this van, but it should be no problem. After you evade, shoot back doors open so you can crab a BZ briefcase; this gives you a gold medal and also saves more time if the mission is passed later. Go to the garment factory, but deliver the briefcase, not a van. After mission passes and if you didn't pass Bugstars Equipment yet, this van is sitting outside the factory. Steal it and take it to your garage, or trade it with Franklin. If you delivered a van instead, you need to stay close the Boxville after completion, switch characters and now you can jack this vehicle. Otherwise it will be locked and you can use GLITCH 1 to get it.
Notes: ! ! ! This vehicle can ONLY be obtained if you choose a "Smart" approach for the jewel store job. ! ! ! You need to complete this setup mission before Bugstars Equipment. ! ! !

3.1. PP Declasse FIB
Mission: Carbine Rifles
Pass or fail: Fail
Requirements: GLITCH 3
How to obtain: Not so hard to obtain, but takes some time. Before approaching Hs, you need to use a pretty interesting GLITCH 3. Explanation in here may be confusing, so do exactly like in the video. As soon as you are spawned in the world, but with a black radar, you need to jack the truck by entering it, as you cannot use any weapons. Also you cannot steal other vehicles. You can cause a traffic jam on highway by walking in front of the vehicles, this makes jacking the truck easier, as when it approaches, it slows down because of the traffic jam. Enter it and you will instantly be spawned in front of Michael's interior garage. Go to Michael's safehouse, get into his Tailgater instead and abandon the FIB truck. Mission will be failed, but when you exit, this PP truck can be retrieved from impound by paying 250$. Save it into interior garage and that's it!
Notes: ! ! ! This vehicle can ONLY be obtained if you choose a "Loud" approach for the jewel store job. ! ! ! Saving it in safehouse garage deletes the PP property. ! ! !

3.2. NE Canis Bodhi (1st chance)
Mission: Mr. Philips - Hang Ten
Pass or fail: -
Requirements: -/GLITCH 2 if you want
How to obtain: This is pretty weird vehicle to name NE, as it only misses a teddy bear in front before "Hang Ten", after what it becomes permanent. Any other property for it would be even more confusing. Obtaining this vehicle is simple, and can be done during a long period of the storyline, so it is suggested to get one later to save garage space. Between missions "Mr. Philips" and "Friends Reunited", just use GLITCH 2 to save it into Trevor's interior garage. Later, it is easier to just trade it with Franklin or Michael.
Notes: ! ! ! This vehicle becomes unobtainable and unique during and after mission "Hang Ten", so make sure to obtain one before that. ! ! !

3.3. UP [TPI1000] Nagasaki Blazer
Mission: Nervous Ron
Pass or fail: Fail
Requirements: -
How to obtain: Take a look at 3.5. UP [B3L13V3] Nagasaki Blazer, as this one is so easy that writing down a strategy is useless.
Notes: -
3.4. UP [B3L13V3] Nagasaki Blazer
Mission: Nervous Ron
Pass or fail: Fail
Requirements: Sticky Bombs
How to obtain: Finally a challenging vehicle to obtain, compared to upper one, which' obtaining doesn't even require extra time. It took a sweet time to find out how to obtain both of these vehicles without a suicide. As soon as you start the mission, you can see two Blazers sitting on the street. Jack TPI1000 one and just park it to your garage. Now, you need to travel across the map to find yourself a Packer. Why Packer is much better than Phantom or any other truck, I'll explain in my video one day. Once you have the Packer (easiest to find one is in Paleto Bay), go to the water tower where Ron's Blazer is parked under. Climb up the tower and place some bombs next to Ron, but MAKE SURE you don't explode them! As those cannot be bought from Ammu-Nation at this point of the game, you have to search for a spawn location to get some, they are useful when you don't want a wasted stat. You can use this location to get some:
Then go back to your Packer and now what you need to do is place the Blazer in front of the truck and push it from it's SIDE all the way to Trevor's home. With Packer it is easy as eating pizza, for example I pushed it to the garage in one go, almost with a max speed. Sometimes when you reach in front of Trevor's garage, it won't open until the Blazer is so near that it prevents opening. In that case, just push the Blazer straight against the garage door, take a small ride around the block and when you come back, the garage door is open for some reason. Just use your Packer to push it inside. Now, drive away, but NOT in the direction of Ron's, otherwise the Blazer gets teleported back next to the water tower. Now when you are far away, press the button that would explode sticky bombs. The mission will be failed, because Ron dies. Exit and return to your garage, but confirm that you can sit on both of them before saving, sometimes B3L13V3 is still unusable. After all this is done, congrats, as you have just obtained a really easy Blazer together with a hard one.

3.5. UC Metallic White Pharte Gas Declasse Burrito (2 of 3)
Mission: Crystal Maze
Pass or fail: Pass
Requirements: -/GLITCH 2 if you want
How to obtain: Easy. As soon as Trevor explodes the house, jack a nearby parked Burrito instead of given Blazer. Drive away, pass the mission and save it to your garage. This is also by far the easiest UC Burrito to obtain in GTA V.

3.6. UPC Metallic Surf Blue Jobuilt Phantom
Mission: Fame or Shame
Pass or fail: Fail
Requirements: GLITCH 1/GLITCH 2
How to obtain: The following Phantom collection is surely every trucker's dream. Surf blue is actually a traffic default pearlescent for Phantoms, but it can never spawn on black variant, which makes it unique. It looks kinda beautiful though. This particular Phantom is seen as soon as you turn into Maze Bank Arena parking lot, as it drives right just in front of your nose. Follow it, it stops, and use GLITCH 1 to teleport into Phantom. Abandon your friend and fail the mission. Exit, you will be teleported out of the vehicle. Use GLITCH 1 again, and switch characters with Franklin to make this truck jackable, then use GLITCH 2 to save it to your interior garage.
Notes: ! ! ! This vehicle has to be stored in interior garage, as there is no other way of storing it. ! ! ! Do not store this vehicle as a fourth vehicle in interior garage, you will lose it permanently! The game also crashes when entering. ! ! ! It is suggested that you store it in Franklin's interior garage, since the entrance to Michael's is too low in order to drive though. ! ! !

3.7. UPC Utility Maui Blue Poly Jobuilt Phantom
Mission: Fame or Shame
Pass or fail: Fail
Requirements: GLITCH 1/GLITCH 2
How to obtain: Again, maui blue is actually a traffic default pearlescent for Phantoms, but it can never spawn on black variant, which makes it unique. It looks kinda beautiful though. This particular Phantom is parked a bit further from the Dilettante. This is actually standing in the location from where you have to take another Phantom later to chase Lazlow. Use GLITCH 1 to teleport into Phantom. Abandon your friend and fail the mission. Exit, you will be teleported out of the vehicle. Use GLITCH 1 again, and switch characters with Franklin to make this truck jackable, then use GLITCH 2 to save it to your interior garage.
Notes: ! ! ! This vehicle has to be stored in interior garage, as there is no other way of storing it. ! ! ! Do not store this vehicle as a fourth vehicle in interior garage, you will lose it permanently! The game also crashes when entering. ! ! ! It is suggested that you store it in Franklin's interior garage, since the entrance to Michael's is too low in order to drive though. ! ! !
3.8. UC Metallic Gun Metal Jobuilt Phantom
Mission: Fame or Shame
Pass or fail: Fail
Requirements: GLITCH 1/GLITCH 2
How to obtain: This Phantom is not only shining uniquely, it's overall unique coloured. Seems that the reqular primary colour is replaced on one of traffic default spawns, as only primary is unique - all other stuff is a traffic default combination. This particular Phantom is parked right across the parking lot, looking from the Dilettante. Use GLITCH 1 to teleport into Phantom. Abandon your friend and fail the mission. Exit, you will be teleported out of the vehicle. Use GLITCH 1 again, and switch characters with Franklin to make this truck jackable, then use GLITCH 2 to save it to your interior garage.
Notes: ! ! ! This vehicle has to be stored in interior garage, as there is no other way of storing it. ! ! !

It is suggested that you store it in Franklin's interior garage, since the entrance to Michael's is too low in order to drive though. ! ! !
3.9. UC Utility Shadow Silver Jobuilt Phantom
Mission: Fame or Shame
Pass or fail: Fail
Requirements: GLITCH 1/GLITCH 2
How to obtain: Again, this Phantom is not only shining uniquely, it's overall unique coloured. Seems that the reqular primary colour is replaced on one of traffic default spawns, as only primary is unique - all other stuff is a traffic default combination. This particular Phantom is parked left across the parking lot, looking from the Dilettante. Use GLITCH 1 to teleport into Phantom. Abandon your friend and fail the mission. Exit, you will be teleported out of the vehicle. Use GLITCH 1 again, and switch characters with Franklin to make this truck jackable, then use GLITCH 2 to save it to your interior garage.
Notes: ! ! ! This vehicle has to be stored in interior garage, as there is no other way of storing it. ! ! !

It is suggested that you store it in Franklin's interior garage, since the entrance to Michael's is too low in order to drive though. ! ! !
4.0. UPC/PP/BTS/UP [Blank] Metallic Surf Blue Jobuilt Phantom
Mission: Fame or Shame
Pass or fail: Pass
Requirements: GLITCH 2
How to obtain: The final, best and easiest vehicle to obtain from this mission. When the mission is passed, switch to Trevor, he will be driving this Phantom and it is yours! Unfortunately, BTS property seems to be unobtainable on this vehicle, because there is no safehouse garage to fit it in.
Notes: ! ! ! This vehicle has to be stored in interior garage, as there is no other way of storing it. ! ! ! If you somehow manage to store it in safehouse garage, PP property will be removed. Interior garage deletes the BTS property. ! ! ! Do not store this vehicle as a fourth vehicle in interior garage, you will lose it permanently! The game also crashes when entering. ! ! ! It is suggested that you store it in Franklin's interior garage, since the entrance to Michael's is too low in order to drive though. ! ! !
4.1. UP [5T3ALM3] Vapid Towtruck
Mission: Scouting the Port
Pass or fail: Pass
Requirements: GLITCH 2
How to obtain: A nice vehicle with a plate that forces you to store it! When you reach the point in the mission where you have to leave Floyd alone with Merryweather, exit Merryweather hangar and turn right immediately. You should notice a towtruck with this plate. Simply take it, pass the mission and store it. It can be saved into Michael's safehouse garage as well, just lower the hook when doing so. Don't worry if the garage door remains open, it will be saved anyways. Getting it out is much harder, though. Actually, it cannot be done unless you switch to someone else and play a bit, then after switching back, Michael will be driving this on a street nearby.
Notes: ! ! ! It is not suggested to save it near Floyd's house. It eats your vehicles randomly, really. ! ! ! Also, do not park it in the Floyd's house parking after completing the mission. For me, it always disappears after the mission is complete. Parking it on any parking space in parking lot across the street works though. ! ! !
Video by MM KJ ChromeExhaust <-SOON
, he got the info from me as well. It exists in Obivous final heist and happens to your getaway vehicle if you..[error, continue reading if the guide author adds strategies]... Jacking it properly is actually fun for all of us in here, tho, because it is exactly the same, same time consuming, same lucky, same quick as beating Pulaski to his AP/UC2 Buffalo in SA, except with no jetpack. It's obivous that it's UC Black conversion if you do not use a vehicle that can be modded black in LSC tho..
