BRET MICHAELS will return to the Barrett-Jackson auction block to sell three pieces from his prized personal collection at the 41st Annual Barrett-Jackson Scottsdale Auction, January 15th - 22nd, 2012.

"We welcomed Bret to Barrett-Jackson last year with the sale of his 1969 Chevrolet Camaro SS," said Craig Jackson, Chairman and CEO of Barrett-Jackson. "We're honored Bret is returning to the block to sell three more pieces of his personal collection."

But before his cars cross the block, Michaels will perform on the stage at the private Barrett-Jackson Opening Gala. Though the exclusive Gala is limited to invited friends, family and VIPs, a few lucky locals will win tickets through local radio stations, facebook.com/Barrett-Jackson and Barrett-Jackson's Twitter feed @barrett-jackson.
