In terms of late-model cars up for grabs, there will be high-performance luxury vehicles such as a 2017 Bentley Continental GT V8 S, 2017 Cadillac CTS-V, 2014 Jaguar XKR-S and 2008 Maserati GranTurismo. If trucks and SUVs are more your style, there is a fleet of Ram 2500 trucks, a Mercedes-Benz G500 and four AM General Humvees – before they were named the Hummer H1. The classic and vintage cars get even better ranging from pre-war cars like a 1930 Cord L-29 Brougham and 1932 Ford Roadster hotrod to legit muscle cars like a couple of '70 'Cudas, a gaggle of Fiat 500s, four generations of Camaros and a tubbed and caged El Camino.

One of the coolest cars in this collection is a 1978 Pontiac Trans Am that was formerly owned by Burt Reynolds, and it comes with an expired Florida registration from 2017 that allegedly proves Reynolds' prior ownership. There are also several Eleanor Shelby GT500 replicas as well as a trio Plymouth Superbirds and a Dodge Charger Daytona. Interestingly, all four of these Winged Warriors have body tags that are installed with sheet metal screws. As such, buying cars from the collection of a con artist might raise some red flags, so do your homework before bidding.

Pre-bidding for these cars started on October 11, and the U.S. Marshals Service will host the live auction event in San Diego on October 26.

Yep, I'm watching a couple of trucks. Wish I had money to blow, I'd bid on the cars, too.

The blue one with the 6 pack is super rare if that's really the OE color & interior & it's numbers matching. As I recall, they only made 3 in that color.

I'm drooling over the Fiat 500s.
It's time for a reality check, and 18-1/2 hp should do it.

Thanks for the information but, unfortunately the only way to really grab one of these is to be present. Something really caught my eye in this auction too and I would have been willing to purchase online or by phone for the right price and have it shipped across the country with some assistance. Oh well... I guess this is not exactly Barrett Jackson.

If I still lived in CA, I would be all over this auction for the little toy addition.

Would you believe that they didn't have power steering? Or that it definitely wasn't needed?
Not even after putting wider 10-inch diameter Mini wheels on them, to be able to fit wider tires.

Maybe the best part was that once lowered (almost a necessity with the swing axle rear) they would outcorner just about anything, and without having to lift.
And obviously, letting up on the throttle was the last thing you wanted to do with that amount of "power".
