Barrett-Jackson Classic Car Auctions Definding their Honor in Court

Last January, we saw cars auctioned at the Barrett-Jackson Classic Car Auction for millions and were thrilled to experience the auction of Carl Shelby's 1966 Shelby Cobra 427 Supersnake for a cool $5 Million. But now, the drama is in Court. When a Michigan judge's 1970 Hemi 'Cuda sold for $300,000 at Scottsdale's Barrett-Jackson Collector Car Auction in January, the car was sold too quickly, its seller says. He thinks his car should have fetched $700,000 to $1 million. As we hear the tale told, David Clabuesch, the former owner of the car, chained the car's wheels to the auction tent and put up a sign calling the sale void. Barrett-Jackson is suing him in U.S. District Court in Phoenix for "outrageous and defamatory actions," and is hoping to set the record straight and uphold the company's reputation.
