Treasure Cars
9 abandoned cars are hidden across the map — found only by photo clues (guide-sourced — Wikipedia is silent).
Treasure Cars are hidden vehicles found only via photo clues (no marker until you're nearly on top of one). There are nine — one per mainland region, plus one in Tokyo City. Unlike Barn Finds they need no stamps and no restoration: drive up and claim them in any order. Wikipedia does not list them, so this roster is guide-sourced and cross-checked across four outlets.
All 9 Treasure Cars
The in-game photo clue, the region, GamingBolt’s map-grid label (a navigation aid, not an in-game GPS readout), and how the source guides describe the spot. No progression or restoration required — grab them in any order.
| # | Car | Region | Map grid | Where to look |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 1991 Nissan Figaro | Tokyo City | D 234 | Small car park on the Tokyo Bay waterfront — north-east of the Rainbow Bridge, north-west of the Daikoku Parking Area marker. |
| 2 | 1969 Dodge Charger R/T | Minamino | C 417 | Behind the clubhouse and convenience store buildings on the east side of the golf course, near the line of golf carts. The course sits centrally, close to the Airfield Trail dirt race. |
| 3 | 1985 Mazda RX-7 GSL-SE | Ohtani | D 357 | By the radio towers on the western border where Ohtani meets Shimanoyama — not the towers further north. |
| 4 | 1987 Porsche 959 | Shimanoyama | A 661 | Just outside the convenience store on the south-eastern side of Narai-Juku, the small town in the north of the region. |
| 5 | 1981 BMW M1 | Hokubu | B 510 | Under the railway bridge surrounded by crop fields in the north of the region, roughly north-east of the Shikisai-No-Oka flower fields. Look for the support column covered in scaffolding. |
| 6 | 1995 Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution III GSR | Takashiro | B 517 | On the dirt road in front of Nachi Falls in the north-western corner of the region. The waterfall also hides a 5,000 XP Bonus Board. |
| 7 | 1974 Lancia Stratos HF Stradale | Sotoyama | C 483 | Beside a lone building on the mountain along the east–west main road that forms the Tateyama Kurobe Alpine Route. Head for the base of the tallest ski path. |
| 8 | 2005 Ford GT | Nangan | A 676 | Beach car park at the end of an unmarked dirt track at the easternmost point of the region, off the coastal road that looks back towards Tokyo City. |
| 9 | 1985 Nissan Safari Turbo | Ito | D 123 | At the base of one of the wind turbines along the Turbine Trail Drift Zone in the north of the region. |
