Papa John’s founder cruising for his old Camaro


Papa John’s founder John Schnatter will give you $25,000 of his dough if you help him find the 1972 Z28 Camaro he sold to launch his pizza empire.


Schnatter cruised through Atlanta Thursday — part of a national tour — to promote the search for his beloved car. He hasn’t seen the Camaro since selling it for $2,800 in 1983.

It’s gold with large black stripes, with a split bumper and sunroof. You can get more particulars at papasroadtrip.com. And no, he doesn’t have the VIN number.


“We’ve looked high and low for the car,” said Schnatter, 47, who now drives a replica of the Camaro, along with an Escalade.


“Somebody somewhere is going to think of something and they’re going to help me find that car. I love the replica but I want that car. You want to see a grown man cry? It’ll happen when I find it.”
