Papa John's founder pays $250K for beloved Camaro

This was a neat "Guy" story today not to say a woman today couldn't do the same thing,.... just wouldn't...lol
Yahoo! News: "LOUISVILLE, Ky. – With the help of a $250,000 reward, the founder of the Papa John's pizza chain has finally reunited with the muscle car he sold years ago to help keep his family's business afloat.

John Schnatter sold the gold-and-black 1971 Chevrolet Camaro Z28 for $2,800 in 1983. The money helped save his father's tavern in Jeffersonville, Ind., and he used the rest to start what would become a worldwide pizza business.

But he still missed his beloved Camaro and spent years searching for it. He created a Web site on the search, held promotional appearances and eventually offered $250,000 to whoever found it.

It turns out he didn't have to leave Kentucky, where the pizza chain is based in Louisville. The car only changed hands twice from the original buyers, ending up with Jeffery Robinson in Flatwoods, about 165 miles to the east.

'When I first saw it I still wanted to look it over to make sure it was the car even though I knew it,' Schnatter told The Associated Press. 'That kind of hit me emotionally. I was kind of numb.'" read more
