Welcome to another video on this guide. I will be obtaining a group of vehicles, which are the EC Red Cheetah, EC Red Stinger and EC2 Red Infernus. The Cheetah and Stinger have both EC (Exclusive Colour) and EC2 (Secondary Exclusive Colour) properties. Infernus is the only one which is only EC2 since the primary colour can be found by simply using pay and spray, or finding an Infernus naturally spawned in traffic with its' traffic default colours. The carcols.dat file refers to this red as red4 to differentiate it from the other reds found in the game. This is obtained from Kenjis' mission "Grand Theft Auto" with a mission fail. These would be the final ones that I would store to complete the Staunton Island garage in the first save file for the game. This garage would contain these three cars, as well as the AP Bobcat, the BP/DP Barracks OL and the BP/FP Trashmaster, being a total of 6 vehicles in one garage.
Start the mission and start stealing the vehicles. Closest one is the Stinger which can spawn with or without a roof. I prefer the Stinger with a roof, so if you are picky, you may have multiple attempts. Take all the cars to the safehouse location, one by one and let the mission fail by running out of time, or destroying a car and restoring it to fail it sooner. With a garage filled with a few vehicles, you'd need to remove them from the garage, in case of something going wrong. All there's left is to convert these to DP (Damage-Proof).
As usual, I'll use the Taxi Driver method to convert these into ghost form and take them to the Staunton Island garage. This can only be done on PS2, Xbox and PC, since these allow you to activate Taxi Driver in any vehicle. OG Mobile and all Definitive Edition platforms work differently. The Taxi Driver method won't work for these, so for OG Mobile, if you have access to Android version 1.6 of GTA III, you can use thieves. Newer versions won't allow thieves, so mission scripted passengers are the only working method. Definitive Edition will require the game versions 1.02 or below in order for mission scripted passengers or thieves to work. Rockstar released 1.03 patch that fixed the car Crusher trick entirely. It's most likely your save file will contain a garage full of vehicles, so you can stop by Portland Safehouse to restore the vehicle that's in ghost form, then head to Staunton.
