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.

According to its seller, today’s Nissan 4X4 shows “pride of ownership.” Let’s see if it would take swallowing one’s pride to pay its asking price. Opinions were split on how well the design of yesterday’s has held up over the years. Some of you commented that the design still...

The (and Tacoma) have a death grip on used values. It’s been this way for years. Go ahead, go try and buy any TRD trim that’s a couple of years old; it’ll cost you as much as a new one — not that you could buy a new one...
