John Schnatter, the founder of Papa John International Inc, sold his car, a 1971 Z28 Camaro in 1983. Schnatter needed the money for capital to establish Papa John. In 2009, about 25 years later, Schnatter offered a $250,000 reward to get his former car back.

John Schnatter paid Jeff Robinson, of Flatwoods, Kentucky, $250,000 for his old Camaro. Schnatter also gave $25,000 to the tipster.

John Schnatter said he owed his success to his old Camaro.

A 1971 Chevelle SS Camaro car sits parked near the Space Shuttle Discovery as it sits on launch pad 39A at the Kennedy Space Center May 3, 2008 in Cape Canaveral, Florida. The shuttle is scheduled for a 13-day mission to the International Space Station starting May 31.
