Cletus is one of Mater's cousins, and is shown to be his oldest. He is very ill tempered and threatening. His number in the derby is 6.
Cars: The Video Game
Cletus competes in Rustbucket Race-O-Rama. He is not playable, he also is one of the three cousins to not be clones of one another.
Cars: Radiator Springs Adventures
Cletus appears in "Tow The Line", where Mater must tow him. He sometimes can appear a bit brighter or have a pinstripe design like Tommy Joe.
Cars: Mater-National Championship
Cletus appears in Rustbucket Races 1, as the fastest car, 2, as the slowest car, and 4, only losing to Emma. He still isn't playable. In Race 1's cut scene, he is seen watching Emma practice for Race 4. When Mater says to "act natural", he hides behind the cousins, but quickly does a stealth attack and knocks Lewis off of the pile of cousins and onto his side, Cletus takes his place. Cletus also appears in the game's intro, but it is extremely rare to notice him, as his only appearance is not only just a tiny glimpse but is also extremely brief.
Cars: Race-O-Rama
Cletus appears in Smash Up 1, again unplayable.
Cars: Fast as Lightning
Cletus does not appear in this game, but Mater has an unused quote from a cutscene where he says he invited Tommy Joe, and can't forget Cletus. And also is mentioned by Mater when he wants to go to Ornament Valley Airport saying that he hopes Cletus is on a plane.
World of Cars Storybook
Cletus, along with Judd and Buford, grew up with Mater and helped him stop a bully named Bubba. He also had a diecast release, with a production sale of 4000.
Livery
Cletus is a pale-green with two red/cream stripes running down him. He has a lighter green 6 embedded in a pale red circle on his doors, and forest green 6s in his number boards. His window net may vary, it has a "default" appearance in games, he has a fixed net on artwork/his diecast, and has no net in PS3 Mater-National.
Personality
Cletus is very dark and grumpy, constantly tossing verbal trash at his enemies and referring characters who have no role in the games (including a secret cameo character). Apart from that side of him, Cletus is also shown to have a soft side, simply trying to prove his father wrong on whether or not he can race.
Abilities
Cletus is shown to be very stealth and alert, the storybook shows him having collected a pile of old parts, which could explain a very good scavenging skill, and much later when Emma visited, he was able to sneak up and pound Lewis, kicking him off the pile, due to their identical 3D Models, Cletus can prove to be much stronger than the other cars, or Lewis could just be weaker.
