The Return of the Camaro that Launched Papa John’s
This week John Schnatter (also known as “Papa John”, the founder of the Papa John’s Pizza Chain) was reunited with the 1971 Camaro Z/28 he sold in1983 to start his business. He had sold the car in 1983 for $2800 and just purchased it back….for $250,000! It’s an inspirational and heartwarming story really. John sold […]

A Muscle Car Too Good Looking to Die?
I’d like to pose a question this week. In light of the Cash For Clunkers situation, is there such a thing as a car that’s too good looking to die? Specifically, is there a muscle car that was (in it’s day) spared because it was too good looking to snuff out? I think the answer […]
Mustangs! Mustangs! Mustangs!
This week I am at one of the biggest horsepower shows in the nation (and perhaps the world) and am surrounded by Mustangs….but it’s not a car show. It’s the “EAA Oshkosh Airventure” show and is heaven-on-earth for general aviation nuts. Oshkosh is a week long airshow and celebration of the latest and greatest in […]

The Coolest Camaro in the World?
I may be going out on a limb here, but I think it’s safe to say that the first generation Camaro’s (1967-1969) are some of the most restored, most collected, most modified, and most desired Camaro’s out there. The 1969 Camaro in particular is the golden standard in the world of Camaro fans . Head […]
