Undercover Billionaire star Glenn Stearns' muscle car fairytale

UNDERCOVER Billionaire star Glenn Stearns realized he'd made the biggest mistake of his life almost immediately after he sold his first car.
Then a teenager, he was initially happy to have got $2,500 for his blue and white Chevrolet Camaro muscle car.

These days a successful businessman with his own Discovery channel show and a dad of six, Glenn had offloaded it to stop his then-girlfriend's nagging.

But he was horrified to learn the car he had just sold was ultra rare and prized by car collectors - one of only 20 Camaro Rally Sport Z/28 models built in 1969.

It took Glenn on an almost 40-year quest to find the car and get it back.
And after coming close to losing all hope, the search came to a stunning end in 2019 with an almost miraculous coincidence involving NFL legend John Elway.

Speaking from his mansion in Newport Beach, California, Glenn, 59, told The U.S. Sun how he bought the Camaro in 1980 while living in Rockville, Maryland.

A colleague of his father sold it to him for just $1,500 after blowing out the engine.

Workers at the auto lot where he was working fixed the motor free of charge and soon Glenn’s car became the talk of the town.

Glenn said: “I'm a teenager and I've got the baddest muscle car on the planet, even though at the time I didn’t really know what I had.

“I was racing around town getting in trouble. The police definitely knew who I was, they could hear me coming.
“I got ticket after ticket after ticket. I lost my license and got into trouble because I kept going.
“I was a young, dumb kid with the baddest car on the planet and that didn't work out so well.
“With all that pressure, my girlfriend, Amy Caputo, finally convinced me to sell the car.
“She said ‘It’s a gas guzzler, you have a problem with your license, get rid of the car.’
“I put it in the newspaper for $2,500 - I’d bought it for $1,500 and a thousand dollars was a lot of money back then.”

Straight away, Glenn got a call at 7am from a buyer who wanted to come over to take the Camaro.

He thought it was odd someone had got in touch so quick and hadn’t even haggled over the price, but he took the money.
