True Blue
SA Hot Rods
|Edition 96
There are so many of us who could only dream about surprising someone special in our lives with their dream car.
-
For brothers Mitch and Mike Rodrigues this dream became a reality. Mitch is a huge Mustang fan and has a 1966 Mustang Coupe and Mike has always been a huge fan of the 1968 Chevy Camaro.

Whilst searching Gumtree one day, Mitch came across a 1968 Chevy Camaro that was for sale. The car was matt dark blue and was in good running condition. Mitch made contact with the owner Albert and they struck a deal. He asked his brother Mike to fetch the car for him. Mike explains “I was pretty envious due to the fact that my brother had purchased my dream car for himself and had the cheek to ask me to go and pick it up for him”.

The car was not in bad condition, the motor was running, the interior was still perfect however the paint and body needed serious attention. The car stayed at Mitch’s house for all of two weeks before it was shipped off to Dino’s Classic for a full restoration.
