someone scored a 69 R/T drop top... it's all about learning of the ones that people gave up on but never got rid of

30 years of sitting in that shed, waiting for someone to give a damn

working at a car dealership was a good way to get cool cars in the 80s, this one was snagged when a buyer came in to get a new car in 1984

Eric Bueckert worked at Bueckert Motors, his dad's car dealership in Gretna, near Winnipeg, where his dad sold this ’69 Coronet R/T in late 1968 to a customer that returned in 1984

When the original owner wanted to purchase a new vehicle from the dealership, Eric learned he still had the Coronet R/T his father sold him and he purchased it in a side deal.

The R/T was ordered with the 440-cubic-inch, 375 hp,  engine, PS, PB,  dual exhaust with crossover, Chrysler A-833 new process four-speed, Dana 60 with 3.54:1 gear sure-grip rear axle, standard bucket seats without optional head rests, centre console, light package, deluxe push-button AM radio, fender-mounted turn signal indicators and tinted glass.

unusual looking R/T, but it appears to be photo Modelo Gatuna, circa. 1970 by Tito Caula, one of the most important photojournalists in Venezuela

odd hub caps, no trunk stripe, and a flat hood? Plus the front license plate.... weird. Since the badge next to the front tire seems to say Coronet and engine size, or model number I'm guessing someone bought or borrowed a couple R/T badges and tried to fool people into thinking it's more than a Coronet 440

photographer Tito Caula (Argentina, 1926-1978), who was part of the Urban Photography Foundation of Venezuela, whose photographs were of a landscape that was of a Venezuela that built itself after the dictatorship. They become moving witnesses of a society, of its time and its development

Caula settled in Caracas as an advertising photographer and documentary filmmaker from 1960, when he had to emigrate due to the difficult political and social situation in Argentina at the time.

After moving to Venezuela he bought a Graflex camera, worked up a photography laboratory in his house, became friends with Leo Matiz, managed his studio in Caracas, collaborated as a photojournalist in the magazine Élite, and won an award from United Press International for his photo of the Betancourt-Frondizi hug in 1961.

He also took pictures of the differences in the country. He went into the student protests, in the life inside the hospitals, et cetera. Its thematic axis was Caracas and it is interesting that, by then, Tito Caula managed to capture that cosmopolitan, plural, diverse and tolerant city. A Caracas that probably is no longer there but from which contemporary photographers have registered thanks to Caula. Recall that the oil boom of the seventies changed Venezuela.

Tito Caula combined technical skill and perceptive acuity, capturing significant and sometimes ironic aspects of the characters, events and places to which they gave their attention" Ernesto Sábato, 1970

Mopars at the NMCA West Coast Natls

Why in the world it has either a 1968 hood, or is missing the lip that bolts to the hood lip and comes down to the grill, also, bumper guards?

terrific interior.

and looks great from the back, but the license plate is jarring. A 1969 California plate would be somewhere from xxx 111 to zzz 999

Dodge Brothers... rivalry makes for better cars, and great racing (might be the coolest thing we see all day)

Kyle posted his dad's Super Bee on Facebook today, it's the same colors as my R/T, except it has stock rims instead of Magnum 500's

I find it remarkable to have never seen another 1969 Coronet exactly like mine until now, after 12 years of ownership. I found it impossible until now to see what it will look like with stock rims and dog dish hubcaps.

2 minor differences of the exterior, are his mud flaps, and lack of the optional rocker panel aluminum trim pieces

This is mine, full gallery at http://justacarguy.blogspot.com/2013/12/for-my-new-job-i-was-tasked-with.html
