JACK M Posted June 26, 2022 Share Posted June 26, 2022 Confiscated cars, seen this a few times. I heard a story of some Vette that the police couldn't get to run properly and auctioned it off. Turns out they never opened up the air cleaner, it was full of dope. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glen Andrews Posted June 26, 2022 Share Posted June 26, 2022 About 15 years ago the Wake County (Raleigh, NC) Sheriff Department seized a current model year Corvette in a drug raid, left it unmarked and used it to catch speeders. Our Corvette club, Corvettes International, of course invited the Sheriff to a meeting and made him and the car an honorary member. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
