DEA seize muscle cars

Some super nice ass rides in this video.

There is a 5th gen toward the end of the vid, that looks like its in the middle of some bodywork and paint prep.

the boss looks sweet, as does i think at least 2 older camaros and a chevelle. The z28 has "settle down" in small letters on the back of the spoiler, i thought was a nice touch.

Someone has some taste.

DEA bust on the owner/shop. Seized along with probably all other assets there for whatever he/she/they were selling 'on the side'. Said assets will be sold off at auction just like impounded cars.

It's why you find jems once and a while at police auctions. However I bet somehow the agents may get first dibs on some of 'em for the bust rather than a raise. Hell I'd take anyone of the 1st gens over a raise any day.

This was on Jalopnik the other day.

Something to do with a massive prescription pill ring involving doctors making phony scripts for people.

Only shop at police auctions out of state. You don't want to be caught riding around town in drug boss's old ride.

I wonder if "drug siezure" shows on a title or VIN search? Wouldn't want to have to explain that one if pulled over.

No, should just appear as 'Sold at auction' because at that point it'd become property of the state selling it before you got it. Probably have a lien tag on it too in that whole mess.

Pretty sure there's flags on the title to put the new owner easily in the free and clear.

I like how the jacka$$ in the white Lamborghini pulls right out in front of the Infinity in the beginning.

Also, they should have closed the freakin road...

Dude had a lot of nice stuff.
