My FH5 Log - Finding Barn Finds Part 2

In Forza Horizon tradition, there are barn finds hidden across the map, and in FH5, there are a total of 14 barn finds scattered across Mexico. Some are triggered at random circumstances, some can be unlocked by clearing certain conditions during explorations. When you found it, it will take several minutes or hours before you are notified, saying that the barn find is fully restored and ready to be driven. Simple as that.

Here comes the second batch of the barn finds I've encountered so far...


This is the first-generation Chevrolet Corvette. The sports car that heralded the beginning of the Corvette dynasty, the rise of America's sports car. I found this at the barn just 2.3 miles west from Lugar Tranquilo.




This ancient Ford F-100 pickup truck is spotted less than a mile near the Horizon Street Scene Outpost.


The Ford Mustang GT 2+2 Fastback is famed for being Steve McQueen's car of choice from the movie Bullitt. Our favorite hero car from the film was laid to rest in a barn located just less than a mile near the Horizon Rush outpost.


The Toyota T100 Baja Truck is famed for conquering the Baja 1000 three times with Ironman Stewart behind the wheel. This offroad legend is spotted in a barn located about one and a half mile from the Buenas Vistas property.




The Renault 4L is known to be the direct competitor to the Citroen 2CV but here in Mexico, it holds importance because back in the '60s, the Mexican government banned vehicle imports, prompting Renault to build the 4L in Ciudad Sahagun until 1976. This ancient midship-engined front-wheel-drive hatchback is spotted 2.2 miles from La Cabana.




Lastly for now, before dealing with the two barn finds bearing the longest wait times, is the rare Jaguar Sport XJR-15, a byproduct of the partnership between Jaguar and Tom Walkinshaw Racing. It was found lurking in a barn near the abandoned airstrip less than two miles south of the Casa Bella property.








Because these revived machines are not here for some show and tell, I decided to flex their newly reborn muscles through numerous races just to see how much they regained since encapsulated on massive time capsules for eternity. Send in the movies.







Well, time to get back on the waiting game! I got the last two barn finds waiting to get themselves revived and let me tell you, the last two barn finds I got, bear the longest waiting times, meaning it will take more than a day to wait until you find something to pass the time. Why? Spoiler alert, they're both Ferraris.

Have fun continuing your Mexican adventure!
