    250k to be reunited with the car you let get away?

    Papa John's founder pays $250K reward, reunites with '71 Camaro Z28 he sold to save business
    LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP) -- 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.
