The Drug Enforcement Administration drove a seized Chevrolet C8 Corvette through San Francisco during Super Bowl week as part of a fentanyl awareness campaign. The black C8 Stingray Coupe, previously confiscated from a drug dealer, was wrapped with graphics featuring prescription pills, the DEA shield, and the slogan “One Pill Can Kill” displayed in both English and Spanish. The Corvette was seen traveling through the city on Friday, Feb. 6, 2026, ahead of Super Bowl LX events.
Video captured by YouTuber Jason K. Watkins shows the Corvette moving through several high-profile locations, including Union Square, Fisherman’s Wharf, Pier 39, Ghirardelli Square, and the Golden Gate Bridge. The car’s vanity license plate reads “SO DOPE.” Accompanying the Corvette were two coach buses featuring NFL alumni Garrison Hearst and former Pittsburgh Steelers defensive back Rod Woodson. A marching band drum section also participated in the outreach effort as the group made stops at key landmarks throughout the city.
Authorities reported the vehicle was seized in connection with drug-related criminal activity and has since been repurposed for public awareness efforts. The Corvette now functions as a mobile billboard intended to highlight the risks associated with fentanyl use. Federal law enforcement agencies have previously seized high-value vehicles during narcotics investigations, but this marks one of the first known instances of a federal agency publicly deploying a confiscated C8 Corvette for community outreach tied to a major national sporting event.
The vehicle remained on display at various stops during the Super Bowl week campaign, drawing attention from visitors and residents in high-traffic areas.
The DEA has not announced additional tour dates for the Corvette, and the vehicle remains in federal custody as part of its outreach fleet.
