The judge on Wednesday refused to block the car sale, which is set for Thursday.
Scrushy's lawyers filed papers saying the sale wasn't properly advertised because a notice wasn't posted on the courthouse door. But they acknowledged the auction was advertised on a courthouse bulletin board, and the judge refused to halt the sale.
Vehicles including a Bentley and a Rolls-Royce will be up for sale. Proceeds will help pay the $2.9 billion civil judgment returned against Scrushy in the accounting fraud that occurred while he led HealthSouth.
