Many people get the seller’s blues after giving away their cars.

Camaro owners, more than any, tend to get stung trying to reclaim them. Take this teen, for example, who lost $150k recovering a 1969 Camaro that he sold for peanuts.

The same sentiment was echoed by this son, who set out on an America-wide hunt for his dad’s old 1969 Chevrolet Camaro Z28.

The plan was to try and bring it back before his dad passed away.

Originally, his dad sold the car after someone joked that it was funny seeing a Camaro towing a van. So he opted to get a truck. But it was instant regret.

Years later, the son discovered that it was still in the buyer’s possession. He contacted the Los Angeles dealer to try and buy it back.

But it wasn’t a simple transaction.

YouTube creator MDB Collection took to the platform on Father’s Day to explain the lengths that he had to go through to get this Camaro Z28 back.

He revealed that in a battle that lasted over three months, the son explained that it was a wish to reunite the car with his family, but the new owner wasn’t buying it.

So, it was all down to the numbers game. But can you put a price on this kind of love?

Well, yes. $30,000 more than it was worth.

The son bit the bullet and parted with the extraordinary sum, but the delivery of the vehicle was equally as long-winded, and more months rolled by.

Sadly, he couldn’t get the Chevy Camaro back before his dad passed, but it felt like a home comfort to see it parked in the garage once again.

“It was worth every penny that I paid for it,” he said.

After all, the 1969 Camaro model is one of the finest available.

Now, the man is going to be pouring his heart and soul into giving it a restoration that his dad would be proud of.
