Vehicles owned by rock star Bret Michaels will star at Barrett-Jackson's Scottsdale classic car auction between January 15 and 22.
Michaels, who fronted glam rock outfit Poison during the '80s and '90s, is well-known as a car collector with a penchant for modern-day classics.
Poison's detractors may argue that their songs are the only modern-day classics Michaels has to his name.
But you cannot argue with his fighting qualities. Michaels has recently recovered from a brain haemorrhage and stroke he suffered in 2010, and will be performing at the opening gala.

The pick of Michaels' cars going under the hammer is undoubtedly a 2004 Bentley Continental GT. The automatic Moonbeam Silver beauty boasts a 6.0 litre twin turbo W12 engine.
The car has featured in Michaels' recent television shows, such as "Bret Michaels - Life as I Know It" and "Rock of Love".
It comes to the auction with no reserve.
The Bentley is joined by Michaels' 2004 Lincoln Navigator and a 2011 Ford Explorer.
No estimate has yet been provided for the vehicles.
We expect Michaels' cars to sell well based on past performance. His 1969 Chevy Camaro SS achieved $220,000 at a 2010 Barrett-Jackson auction in Scottsdale.
And, if it's rock star collectibles you're after, take a look at these superb handwritten, signed lyrics by Alice Cooper.
The lyrics to the 1972 hit School's Out are in excellent condition, and are available for just £950.
The Barrett-Jackson auction will also feature the Cadillac Hearse that carried John F Kennedy's body following his 1963 murder in Dallas, Texas.
Paul Fraser Collectibles will bring you all the big news from the auction next month.
