Papa John's pizza founder finally located and bought back his '71 Camaro
 Papa John's pizza founder John Schnatter publisized a search for his 1971 Chevrolet Camaro Z28. http://www.pastemagazine.com/articles/2009/06/papa-johns-camaro-25000-cash.htmlSchnatter sold the car in 1983 for $2,800 to help keep his family's then-struggling tavern afloat and to start his Louisville-based pizza empire. For their help in finding the car, the car's current owner, 165 miles away in Flatwooods, Ky., received $250,000, and the buyer Schnatter sold it to 26 years ago got $25,000.
The car will be displayed at the company headquarters in Louisville, replacing a replica Schnatter commissioned while he searched for his original car. http://www.papasroadtrip.com/
In honor of Schnatter's reunion with his beloved ride, Papa John's will offer a free pizza to all Camaro owners Wednesday. Pizza lovers must drive their Camaros to a Papa John's location for verification.

Demon from south of the border in LaMesa






 I've never seen this gas cap before... is it the normal one for a Demon? I don't know, it wasn't on mine



 
 A couple of other Demons that I posted before don't have this gas cap: http://justacarguy.blogspot.com/2009/03/72-dodge-demon-built-by-aaron-at-viau.html  and   http://justacarguy.blogspot.com/2008/05/coolest-demon-ive-ever-seen.htmlLes's hauler has a new rider, a Panoz!







 To compare the Panoz to the previous race car on the hauler (my favorite) the Trans Am racing Boss 302 http://justacarguy.blogspot.com/2008/08/tour-of-les-hauler-and-boss-302-much.html http://justacarguy.blogspot.com/2008/04/this-awesome-mustang-now-has-dedicated.html
