Back in 2020, from an alleged drug trafficker outside Springfield. The cars, referred to in local news coverage as “,” turned out to be : Mk IV Supras, E46 M3s, Mitsubishi Evos, Zs, and more. After the raid, the cars were locked up in impound lots, never seeing the light of day. On June 4th, however, that all changes: . This will be a sale to watch.

The cars run the gamut from perfectly preserved time capsules to thoroughly thrashed, nitrous-fed track toys. Yet, despite their differences, each auction will have the same ground rules: A $5,000 starting bid, and no reserve price. The high bidder gets the cars, no matter what they end up paying.

The auction includes 27 vehicles (though for some reason, the description says 29), which make up an amazing collection. Much of the mid-1990s-to-early-2000s performance pantheon is accounted for, almost all of them in excellent, low-mile condition. The full list:

13 Mk IV Toyota Supras

Five E46 BMW M3sTwo Honda S2000s (one AP1, one AP2)Two Mistubishi Lancer Evolutions (one Evo VIII, one Evo IX)Two Nissan 350Zs (one seemingly stock, the other built up with a turbo and a body kit)One F82 BMW M4One Lime Rock Park Edition E92 BMW M3One heavily modified Acura Integra (seemingly a genuine Type R)

Within the list of Supras, however, things get even more interesting. This isn’t some collection of beater base models, but a broad look at all the different variations of the A80 that Toyota offered. Within those thirteen:

One is naturally aspirated, 12 are turbochargedEight are manual, five are automaticThe highest mileage example has 123,732 milesThe lowest mileage example has a mere 8,169 milesTen have under 50,000 milesTwo are heavily modified, the rest are nearly or completely stock

The cars all come from alleged drug trafficker Cory Taylor, who . A raid of his firehouse-turned-car-storage-facility-and-luxury-apartment revealed guns, drugs, and millions of dollars in cash — and, yes, all of these cars. show the vehicles stored indoors, mostly covered, with many on lifts. Their meticulous storage and care shows in their current condition — many of them are near-mint.

, though the cars will be available to view for two days leading up to the sale. Just, please, don’t bid on the Integra. I’m calling dibs on that one.

Today's candidate is a Daytona on a Jeep. Or maybe it's a Jeep in a Dodge disguise? Whatever it is, you'll need to say if this custom's price is a match made in heaven. While the Mustang II may not be the marque's most beloved edition, yesterday's clean and nostalgic...

For $7,500, Will You Find This Snake Charming?
Much like Windows Vista, and actress Jennifer Grey's nose job, people love to hate on the Mustang II as a woeful product transformation. Today's Cobra II may prove that ire to be unfounded, but will you still hate its price? Do you know what we do love? We love big...

2014 Mercedes-Benz E63 AMG S Wagon: The Jalopnik Review
Hot rod wagons are a nasty fetish to a very particular group of people, just like fantasy football or horse pornography. Mercedes knows they aren't going to sell a billion E63 Wagons in America, but they're making a very particular group go nuts. That includes most automotive journalists and readers...

For $6,000, Is This Mustang A San Francisco Treat?
The San Francisco Giants may not engender the kind of rabid fan base as do New York's Yankees or the Boston Red Sox, but as today's homage Mustang proves, there are still those who demonstrate that fan is derived from fanatic. San Francisco, despite its hilly nature and public transit...
