Searching for Forza Horizon 5 Barn Finds lets you get classic cars that you can recover, restore, and race, provided you can find them hiding across Mexico. There are 14 of these Barn Find rumors in Forza Horizon 5, and each one will show you the rough location of a where an ancient automobile is hiding. These range from beaten-up American classics to the best 20th century sports cars, all of which are in need of a serious scrub and new parts.
As with previous FH games, you need to listen out for Barn Find rumors from the Horizon Festival staff as you play. Getting all 14 can therefore take a while, and so can the searching process as some of these barns are hidden much better than others. To speed up the hunt and expand your car collection, I've found all of the Forza Horizon 5 Barn Finds and have laid out their precise locations below.
If you're in the UK Horizon Festival, we've got you covered with our Forza Horizon 4 Barn Finds guide.
How to find all Forza Horizon 5 Barn Find cars
To find all the Forza Horizon 5 Barn Finds, you unfortunately can’t just seek all of them out right from the very start of the game. For each car, you need to first get a rumor from one of the Horizon Festival’s many representatives, like Alex or Alejandra. Most of these rumors appear to be tied to your progression through the Horizon Adventure campaign and generally completing various activities in the game, but some can be unlocked by other means, such as buying the La Cabaña property in the northwest corner of the map.
When you get a rumor, check your map for the large purple circle with a barn icon in it. You need to drive around this circled area, searching for the barn, which is an old, white building with yellow doors. However, the easiest way to search is to use Drone Mode under the ‘Creative Hub’ tab of the pause menu, letting you freely fly around the purple area.
Once you’ve found the barn, drive up to it and you’ll initiate a cutscene where the rusted classic car inside is revealed. The car will then go into your collection but will be unusable until it has been repaired. This is free but takes time, though you can pay Credits to instantly repair the car – the pricier the repairs, the longer it takes to repair for free, but the cost decreases over time. Additionally, now that the barn is empty, you can use it to send and receive gift cars to other players!
You’ll eventually get an in-game notification when the car is fully repaired, allowing you to collect it from one of your houses. Drive to any one of your homes and access the Barn Finds page under the menu’s “Garage” tab. Any restored cars will say they are ready to collect on their icon.
Forza Horizon 5 Barn Finds locations
Here are the locations for all 14 of the Forza Horizon 5 Barn Finds across Mexico and the cars contained within. In the map images below, the player icon is positioned at the start of the dirt track that leads to the barn, so use those for easy access to the barns. The cars are also listed in the order we unlocked them, although you might unlock them in a slightly different order.
Ford Racing Escort 1967
You can find the Ford Racing Escort Barn Find up towards the peak of the volcano. On the map, look for the ‘La Gran Caldera’ label which is in the northwest section of Mexico. The barn is just above the L in ‘La’. Take the dirt track that comes off the wide hairpin turn on the dirt road to get to the barn easily.
GMC Jimmy 1970
The Jimmy Barn Find is within the river area of Cascadas De Agua Azul, so you should definitely have an off-road car for this. There’s a dirt road that runs from the nearby Atlantes De Tula ruins down into the Cascadas river area. You’ll find a dirt track along this dirt road that leads to the barn.
Jaguar Sport XJR-15 1991
For the Jaguar Sport, you need to head to the Aeródromo En La Selva in the southwest section of Mexico. Once you’re there, head to the south side of the airfield and drive along the circuit’s dirt roads. You’ll find the barn just off one of these roads amongst lots of trees. The barn also covers the ‘mo’ of the Aeródromo map label.
Porsche 911 Carrera RS 1973
To find the Porsche 911 barn, you need to start heading along the winding mountain road on the east side of the Caldera. Drive up the road until you pass the second hairpin turn section. You along this section of road, which should have you driving northwards, you’ll eventually find a dirt track on the left side. This is quite a long track but keep following it and you’ll eventually get to the barn.
Ford Mustang GT2+2 Fastback 1968
The Ford Mustang Barn Find is east-northeast of Guanajuato. Taking the east road out of the city, you then need to turn left onto a road that heads north. This road then curves right to face east and then curves left to face north again. There’s a dirt track leading to the barn on the road section after the two turns.
BMW 2002 Turbo 1973
The barn containing the BMW 2002 Turbo is just up a hill off the road on the north edge of the Mexico map, northwest of Guanajuato.
Toyota #1 T100 Baja Truck 1993
For the Toyota Baja Truck Barn Find, you need to head to the southwest section of Mexico and look for these three landmarks to get in the right area: De Otro Mundo, Club De Ópalo De Fuego, and Palacio Azul Del Océano. The barn you’re looking for is along the crop circle just below the De Otro Mundo map label. Drive around the circle until you go just beyond the 4 o’clock position, and you’ll spot the barn nearby.
Ferrari 250 GTO 1962
The 250 GTO is an incredibly expensive car, so this is definitely one to look out for. The barn is located very close to the east coast of Mexico near the Los Jardines road marked on the map. Look for the dirt road that links two regular roads that both eventually meet at a roundabout to find the track leading to the barn. It’s also roughly between Playa Azul and Valle De Las Ranas. Look out for the Forza Horizon 5 lion mural in Playa Azul while you're in the area!
Renault 4L Export 1968
For the Renault Export Barn Find, you need to look in the northwest section of the Mexico map. The barn is northeast of the Baja Circuit and very close to the northern border of the map. If you’re driving westbound along the northernmost road, you’ll eventually reach a junction where you can turn left and head roughly south. Take this road and just before it turns right, look out for the dirt path and follow it to the barn.
Dodge Viper GTS ACR 1999
The Dodge Viper Barn Find is in the second A of Pantano in the ‘Gran Pantano’ map label text. You can find this region in the southeast corner of the Mexico map and north of the Ek’ Balam ruins.
Chevrolet Corvette 1953
To find the Chevrolet Corvette, the barn you’re looking for is southeast of Tierra Próspera and just south of the main highway that spans the middle of the map. There’s a dirt road that crosses over a small river nearby, and following this road eastbound just after the river crossing will get you to the track that leads to the barn.
Dodge Dart Hemi Super Stock 1968
The barn for the Dodge Dart is next to Teotihuacan in the southern half of the Mexico map. Look for a dirt track along the horizontal road just south of the road strip in Teotihuacan. The barn is just below the ‘can’ in the Teotihuacan map label.
Ferrari F40 Competizione 1989
You can find the Ferrari F40 Barn Find in the southeast corner of the map just west of Tulum. The barn is off a dirt road in the swampy area of this part of Mexico. It’s also near Riviera Maya on the southeast coast and just north of Pantano De La Selva on the map. It’s not one of the fastest cars in Forza Horizon 5, but it’s certainly one of the speediest Barn Finds.
Ford F100 1956
For the Ford F100 truck Barn Find, the barn you’re looking for is in a field just south of Tierra Próspera. The fields are enclosed in a road loop below the region’s label.
That’s all 14 Forza Horizon 5 Barn Finds. You can freely modify, drive, and race al these classic cars, so hopefully they bring you lots of podiums and wins. Make sure you upgrade them with Forza Horizon 5 Car Mastery perks and take them for a spin for other challenges, such as Forza Horizon 5 Drift Zones.
