A guy goes to Barrett Jackson with John Elway, and spots the 1969 Z-28 he sold in high school when he lost his license... and bought it back


Glenn and his friend, football great John Elway, flew to Barrett-Jackson's 2020 Scottsdale auction on Elway's private jet.

Stearns' itinerary was to accompany Elway to Barrett-Jackson to watch Elway's 1992 Dodge Viper cross the block. During the course of the flight, Elway asked Stearns if he had any regrets in life, and Glenn answered his only regret was selling the 1969 Z/28 he owned in high school

Stearns' Z/28 was a known fast car on the streets of Rockville, Maryland, and among fellow students at Richard Montgomery High School... and that caused Stearns to lose his drivers license, and after that he put the '69 Z/28 up for sale.

Walking with Elway up to the Viper, Stearns spotted a blue 1969 Z/28 Camaro parked alongside. As he got closer, he exclaimed, "This car looks just like it!" Upon closer inspection, he excitedly proclaimed, "This car is the 1969 Z/28 Camaro that I owned in high school!"

It's got a DZ 302 with the Cross-Ram carbs, an M21 and a 12-bolt BU-code rearend with the original X33 Trim Tag.
