If you drive a Chevy Camaro, then I've got good news for you this morning. Today, Papa John's Pizza is offering a FREE PIZZA to anyone who owns a Camaro. (???)
I know, it's an unusual offer. But the REASON behind the deal is even more bizarre than the promotion itself. Listen to this . . .
In 1983, the owner of Papa John's, a guy named John Schnatter, sold his 1971 Camaro Z28 for $2,800 so he could open his first Papa John's restaurant. But John missed his car.
In fact, he missed it so much that once his restaurant hit it big, he offered $250,000 to anyone who could help him track down his original Camaro.
The guy who originally bought the car heard about John's search, got in touch, and and said he sold the Camaro five years ago for $4,000 to a guy named Jeffery Robinson from Flatwoods, Kentucky (--165 miles east of Louisville).
Long story short, John bought the Camaro back from Jeffery for $250,000, and gave $25,000 to the original buyer for helping him track it down. (!!!)
And, of course, now you get free pizza.
