"Drug dealers don't get to keep the luxury items they purchased with illicit drug proceeds," U.S. attorney Trent Shores told the Tulsa World. "I hope these cars can be auctioned and the money can aid state and local law enforcement."

Some of the cars are not currently legal to drive on public U.S. roads. Several are JDM (Japanese Domestic Market) models that have not been approved to be imported or registered in the U.S., including a 1990 Nissan Cefiro Turbo, a 1997 Toyota Soarer GT-T, a "Tommi Makinen" Mitsubishi, and others. Buyers are advised to check regulations closely.

Bidders are invited to preview the cars Friday, March 29, from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. CST at Race Communications, 805 Jet Drive, in Midwest City, Oklahoma.
