You have to learn how this body goes together before a garage will restore it. Pry the VIN plate off a derelict one with a toolkit, or tow one into a garage bay, and from then on you can build it from a armored chassis frame tag like any other.

Where to find it

Derelict ones were left where the world ended, at these places. Pry the VIN plate, search the glovebox and trunk, or siphon what is left in the tank.

Keys and starting

Hold Y to crank it. A healthy engine has a 66% chance to catch each second you hold it.

Crank for 6 seconds without a start and it floods, and it will not catch for 20 seconds.

Cranking drains the battery: under 10% the starter only clicks. A push or a jump start gets it going.

It comes with its own key, a Vehicle Key. Anyone holding it can lock, unlock and start it, and the fob reaches 80 ft. A copy is cut at a workbench from a Key Blank with Engineering 12 and a toolkit or pliers.

Without the key, hotwire it from the driver's seat with a Screwdriver Set and a Hotwire Kit. In this class 15% of the sweep catches at Engineering 0, a little more as you learn. A failed try can set off its alarm, heard about 390 ft away.

Lose it and the recovery crew tows it to a garage for 420 Scrip plus about 40 Scrip a mile.
