London
(ANI):
Matthew
McConaughey's
joy
knew
no
bounds
when
girlfriend
Camila
Alves
gifted
him
his
dream
car,
a
vintage
Chevrolet,
on
his
40th
birthday.
Ever
since
his
teens
the
Sahara
star
dreamt
of
owning
the
car
and
was
beside
himself
with
delight
when
he
woke
up
on
4
November
(09)
to
find
the
1981
Chevrolet
Camaro
Z28
parked
in
his
driveway.
"Camilla
got
it
for
me
for
my
40th.
(It's)
very
cool
because
my
middle
brother
Pat,
it's
what
he
drove
in
high
school," the
Daily
Star
quoted
McConaughey,
as
saying.
"When
I
was
12
and
he
was
18,
he'd
come
home
on
a
Friday
or
Saturday
night
at
12.30am
and
he'd
come
inside
and
wake
me
up
and
I'd
run
out
in
my
underwear
and
get
in
the
passenger
seat
and
listen
to
rock
n'
roll
in
the
driveway."
A
nostalgic
McConaughey
revealed
it
was
the
first
car
he
ever
drove.
He
said:
"My
mum
and
dad
would
go
out
of
town
and
he
(Pat)
would
let
me
drive
it,
all
around
Texas.
It
had
a
concord
system
in
there...
At
that
time
it
was
a
larger
than
life
hot
rod
time
machine.
So
I've
always
talked
about
it,
then
I
woke
up
on
my
40th
and
there
was
this
beauty
sitting
in
the
driveway."
