The Prehistoric Car is a limited, event-exclusive vehicle in Storage Hunters: Open World, tied to the game’s Jurassic dig-site event. It carries a LEGENDARY tag and a [Limited] label, and it cannot be bought from any shop. Getting it takes two things: finishing a short event quest and getting lucky at the event auctions.
Quick answer: Repair three broken prehistoric items to clear the first quest, then keep starting auctions at the Jurassic Stable Garage until the Prehistoric Car appears as an auction item and you win it.
Where to start the Prehistoric event
Head into the prehistoric-themed event area, marked by the “JURASSIC” signage and a wooden stall reading PREHISTORIC CAR. An NPC named Kyle stands next to a stone tablet and a stone-wheeled vehicle, and a green Lost and Found chest sits nearby with an NPC you can talk to.
Talking to the event NPC starts the quest chain and opens the Jurassic Collection book, which shows your event progress (for example, “11 / 27 found”). The book carries an on-screen warning: when the dig site closes, so does the collection. That is your reminder to finish everything while the event is live.
Step 1: Repair three broken prehistoric items
The first objective is to repair three broken prehistoric items. This is where most players stall, so read the requirement carefully.
Note: If your counter is not moving, the item you repaired was not flagged as broken. Skip intact collectibles and only fix ones that show a broken state.
Step 2: Win the Prehistoric Car from Jurassic auctions
After the repair quest, the next task is to find the Prehistoric Car itself. It does not unlock automatically once the quest is done. Instead, it surfaces as a lot through the event auctions at the Jurassic Stable Garage, which means you need some luck before one shows up.
Go to the Jurassic Stable Garage and start an auction. Entry costs $15.00 and requires a $10,000 Net Worth to enter. Keep running auctions on repeat, because there is no guarantee the car appears on any single one.
When the Prehistoric Car does appear, it is displayed with the LEGENDARY and [Limited] tags. You still have to win that auction to add it to your garage, so bid to secure it once it comes up.
Use Luck Drinks before entering auctions
Because the car is auction-based, raising your luck improves your odds of seeing rarer event lots. If you have Luck Drinks, activate one right before you start the auction so the boost is active while the lots roll. Your active luck shows on the clover icon at the bottom-left of the screen.
Prehistoric Car stats and requirements
| Detail | Value |
|---|---|
| Rarity | LEGENDARY (Limited) |
| Storage capacity | Approximately 400 KG |
| How to obtain | Won from Jurassic Stable Garage auctions |
| Unlock requirement | Repair three broken prehistoric items first |
| Auction entry cost | $15.00 |
| Net Worth to enter garage | $10,000 |
The car uses a wooden frame, a tattered fabric roof, and large stone rollers for wheels. At roughly 400 KG, its carrying capacity is not among the highest in the game, so it is a collector’s vehicle rather than a hauling upgrade. Its value comes from being event-exclusive.
How to confirm you unlocked it and why to act now
You know the process worked when you win the Prehistoric Car lot and it lands in your garage, ready to drive with its stone-roller wheels and the [Limited] tag above it. Until it appears and you win it, the objective stays open no matter how many times you clear the repair step.
Because the Jurassic Collection book and its rewards close when the dig site ends, the window to grab this vehicle is finite. If you are already taking part in the event, keep cycling auctions with your luck active until one shows. Once the event is over, newer players won’t have a way to earn it, which is exactly what makes it worth the extra auction runs today.
