'Gangcar Roundup' is easy once you get it 'just right' if you know what I mean.
Here's the strategy:
A fairly long and boring mission, employer King Courtney wants you to steal three different gang vehicles: a Mafia Sentinel, Diablo Stallion and a Yakuza Stinger. Inconveniently, the former two are found on Portland Island and this means that you'll likely have to make more than one trip back and forth.
Upon the initiation of the mission, one pink blip will appear on your radar. This is the garage, so don't accidentally wind up chasing it, thinking it's a car. As a result, there are no dots or blips telling you where the cars required are, given the need to find them yourself and that they have no mission-only locations anyway.
Use the Porter Tunnel to drive to Portland; by doing this you can avoid having to drive through Mafia or Triad turf.
By this time you should be hated and wanted for dead by the Mafia I think you should be okay in Diablo and Triad turf but watch those shotguns!
There are two locations where you can get a Mafia Sentinel from, IIRC: One, the Mafia Gentlemen's Club located roughly east-ish atop the hill in Saint Marks. There should be two Mafia Sentinels parked our front of the place.
Two, Salvatore's place towards the northeast corner of the island. There are regularly two Mafia Sentinels parked there and there are never guards around.
Tip: Avoid using the roads to reach the Gentlemen's Club, if that's where you're gonna get your car. Instead, drive (yes, time for a bit of off-road) up the hillside to the top behind Easy Credit Autos in Harwood so as to gain something of a height advantage over Mafia members (by doing this, you can avoid being shot by them). As soon as you gain possession of the Sentinel, take the Porter Tunnel again to Stanton Island and deliver it to the garage. Avoid any reckless or unnecessary dangerous driving as any damage given to the car will need to be repaired before you can deliver it to the garage.
Utilising the now very useful Porter Tunnel, drive back to Portland. You won't find any Diablo Stallions parked anywhere, so cruise around Hepburn Heights for a while until you manage to find one. Warning: watch your back as you search.
As soon as you get behind the wheel of one, take it to the garage as fast as you can, making sure you repair any damage if any is made. Once you do so, you have one final car to get: the Yakuza Stinger.
So head on over to either Asuka's apartment or Kenji's Casino in Torrington. Thankfully, stealing one of these is a piece of cake. Look in Kenji's car park to find one.
Deliver it to the garage with no damage to finish the mission.
Reward: $10,000.
