Drive Like a Criminal

It’s no secret that drug dealers and other law breakers own some of the baddest cars, bikes and boats on the planet. What’s less known is what happens to the rides when the bad guys get snagged by the cops. We’ve all heard the stories about the police departments that run radar in seized Ferraris. But has anyone ever wound up with a deal at a police auction? A quick look at the auction site govdeals.com shows some good opportunities.
On the day I logged on, govdeals had a few sweet muscle cars including a ’66 Chevelle Super Sport, a ‘70 Chevelle Super Sport clone and a ’69 Camaro. Not sure if the Camaro is a Z28, but the auction says it’s got the rare 302 under the hood.
It seems clear, however, that I’m not the first guy to discover the site. Bids for the ’66 Chevelle had already hit $40,000. It’s no place for cheap guys like me, unless you happen to be looking for a cheap decommissioned cop car.
