When Papa John Schnatter was reunited with his beloved 1971 1/2 Camaro after 25 years, he was so stoked that he not only paid 250,000 grand to its current owner, but promised to give every Camaro owner a free pizza. So yesterday, 35, 847 proud Camaro owners took him up on the offer, while the heads of Pizza Hut and Domino’s tried to figure out a way to make their companies look human in the face of Papa’s blinding awesomeness.

This is the kind of story that warms the grease-stained hearts of gearheads everywhere. For over 25 years, Papa John Schnatter had searched for the 1971 1/2 Camaro he’d sold to save his dad’s business—and found the multi-million dollar pizza pizza chain that bears his name. But after a Jalopnik reader decided to help, the long search is finally over. The owner of the car—which has been turned into 800HP drag car—is now a whopping $250,000 richer, and tomorrow, Camaro owners are going to be able to get free pizza from Papa John’s. How cool is that? Head over to Jalopnik for all the details on this awesome reunion.
