Papa John’s Camaro – Hotwheels Edition
A while back, crappy pizza tycoon Papa John was reunited with his long lost 1971 & 1/2 Camaro thanks to the diligence of car fans and the promise of enough cash to open your own franchise. Now, to help out Toys for Tots – a special edition Papa John’s Z28 Camaro toy car is up for sale – proceeds going to buy more toys for children of Marines stationed overseas.

We don’t actually know if it’s a Hotwheels or Matchbox, as the press release doesn’t tell you. What it does say is “Beginning today, pizza and car lovers alike may purchase a mini replica of Schnatter’s Camaro for just $4.99 at www.papajohns.com. For every mini Camaro sold, $1 will be donated to the Marine Toys for Tots Foundation, just in time for the holidays. In addition, every toy’s packaging includes a coupon for a free medium cheese pizza – making it the gift that keeps on giving, long after the holiday leftovers are gone!
Papa John’s is also donating 5,000 mini Camaros directly to Toys for Tots – a retail value of $25,000, and $50,000 in redeemable free pizzas. In total, Papa John’s will contribute more than $155,000 to the 2009 Toys for Tots campaign.”
