Pizza chain founder recovers beloved car he sold in 1983 that led to start of Papa John’s.

...Just how beloved? So much so that Schnatter, founder of the world’s third-largest pizza company, initially offered a $25,000 “finder’s fee” to the person who could produce the title to his long-lost Camaro, and later offered $250,000 to whomever could produce the title and transfer the car. The search was chronicled online at www.papasroadtrip.com, where thousands of people logged on to offer tips on how to find his car.

Today, Papa John’s cherished Z28 Camaro is coming home to Louisville, Ky. And, as a result Jeff Robinson from nearby Flatwoods, Ky. (pop. 7,605) is $250,000 richer. The company has also extended a $25,000 reward offer to the family who originally bought the car from Schnatter in 1983, in appreciation for their help in linking the contest winner with Papa John’s.

Great story of a man and his love for his childhood muscle car. I guess this cash for clunker theme gets a whole new meaning? Maybe he was scared it was going to be crushed?

I've just found a new restaurant I like.

I remember the Z28 1972 very well, my best friend had one. Green with black strips.

We all wish we could do the same.. I don't have the $$$$$$

I could have painted mine...it was the wrong year...blown headgasget (sp?) and probably more miles than that one...but hey...I would have given it to him...get it out of my drive way...and I would have only taken $500 for it...
