A Drug Kingpin’s Stash of Seized Cars Is Going up for Auction

A Drug Kingpin’s Stash of Seized Cars Is Going up for Auction

When you have possession of three-quarters of a ton of marijuana (1,500lbs with an estimated street value of $5mil), it’s safe to say you’re a drug kingpin. If there’s anything we know about drug kingpins, they love their rides. Unfortunately for Kong Meng Vang (aka “Steve”), the government got all of his pot and his equally ridiculous car collection. His loss is your gain because the U.S Marshals are auctioning off the entire collection, including some rare Japanese cars that were imported illegally because they don’t comply with EPA regulations. On the JDM side of things, there are quite noteworthy options. 2009 Nissan GT-R. 1991 Acura NSX. 1972 Datsun 240Z Pro-Street. 1999 Nissan Skyline GTR R34. 1998 Subaru Impreza WRX STi Type R. 2000 Mitsubishi Lancer EVO VI Tommi Makinen GSR. Multiple right hand drive Toyota Supras. There are also some European exotics. 2017 Ferrari F12 Berlinetta. 2011 Maserati Gran Turismo S. 2007 Maserati Quattroporte M139. And if you’re looking for a new luxury SUV, dump truck, pickup or semi, you’re covered there, too. 1999 Kenthworth T600 dump truck. 2008 Range Rover Sport. 2004 Escalade. 2006 Freightliner Conv Coronado 132 Semi. The auction is underway now with a soft-closing beginning on April 1, so you have plenty of time to bid on your favorites.
