There is something about muscle cars that evokes the image of rebelliousness and the “bad boy attitude” that makes them particularly popular with those who perceive themselves as outlaws. Of course there is a difference between those who drive too fast in their souped-up hot rods, and then there are those who run “rogue pain clinics” and attract the attention of both the U.S. Marshalls and the DEA.

Jalopnik came across this eight-minute video of a police sting in South Florida where the perpetrators of these supposedly rogue pain clinics kept a vast collection of exotic cars and as well as classic and contemporary muscle cars.

Who knows or really cares about the details of the investigation. Some bad people were doing some bad things in, of all places, South Florida, and they used their supposedly ill-gotten gains to buy a bunch of awesome automobiles. Now is a great time to be picking up classic muscle cars as a down economy has brought prices back to Earth quite a bit. There’s a whole car hauler of late-60’s Camaros, as well as numerous fastback Mustangs and some more modern ones emblazoned with all sorts of special editions. The DEA and U.S. Marshal’s fell upon this unassuming warehouse and confiscated all these cars plus a whole lot more.

Then there is the requisite Dodge Vipers, Lamborghinis galore, and plenty of extra horsepower from a host of superchargers, turbochargers, and we’re sure lots of NAWZZZZ. All in all, if the case Jalopnik links to is indeed the same case, over 70 vehicles and $2.2 million in cash. The vehicles have a value of at least $4 million, and that is probably before taking into account all the modifications and awful paint jobs. But the law always has a way of catching up, especially when you owe the gov’ment some money.
