Rockstar has confirmed that GTA 6's Ultimate Edition will include an exclusive side activity called the Classic Car Collection, sending players hunting across Leonida for derelict vehicles to restore. The reveal, posted to Rockstar's website on June 24, 2026, arrived alongside fresh details on the premium edition's pricing and bonus content — and it plays like a clear nod to Forza Horizon 6's fan-favorite Barn Finds mode.
Restoring Rust Buckets Across Leonida
According to the announcement, the Classic Car Collection has players scouring GTA 6's map for abandoned classic cars and half-finished project vehicles hidden throughout the world. Once found, each car needs to be repaired and brought back to working order rather than simply driven away. The activity is framed as a special job handed out by a character named Wyman, who Rockstar describes as an eccentric collector and local fixer with a taste for old iron. Details on how many vehicles are hidden, where they're located, or what rewards come from completing Wyman's commission haven't been shared. Rockstar's post stops short of a full breakdown, leaving the scope of the hunt a mystery for now.
A Clear Callback to Forza's Barn Finds
The setup mirrors Forza Horizon 6's Barn Finds almost beat for beat: explore the open world, stumble on a forgotten car tucked away out of sight, then restore it to add to a personal collection. Barn Finds has been one of the most popular recurring activities in the Forza Horizon series, prized for surfacing rare cars that can't be obtained through normal in-game purchases or races. Rockstar's Classic Car Collection appears to borrow that same loop, giving GTA 6 its own version of the treasure-hunt-for-cars formula that's kept Forza players scouring the map for years.
Locked Behind the Priciest Version of the Game
The catch is that the Classic Car Collection won't be available to everyone. Rockstar has confirmed it as an Ultimate Edition exclusive, tying it to the $100 version of GTA 6 rather than the standard release. The reveal came as part of a broader wave of communication from Rockstar about what the Ultimate Edition includes and why it costs more — a rollout that has landed alongside separate discussion around the game's platform performance and complaints over physical copies shipping without a disc. No firm release window was given for the feature beyond Rockstar's statement that it's coming sometime later this year. With GTA 6 already carrying enormous expectations, exclusive content like the Classic Car Collection is likely to keep fueling debate over whether a $100 tier is worth the extra spend. For now, Rockstar has only confirmed the activity exists and that Wyman will be waiting — the finer details, including exactly when players can start restoring cars in Leonida, remain under wraps.
