    When I moved up to Illinois from Texas took me a while to figure out when people asked if I wanted a pop they meant Soda, and that when I asked them if they wanted a Coke, I did not then have to ask them to specify what type. :spank:

    that means BEER in any language.
    Although not the beer that made Milwaulkee famous (Shlitz).

    My namesake beer (Miller)was brewed in Milwaulkee in the range of 8 million gallons/year.

    In Alabama if you ask for soda, you'll get Arm&Hammer.

    If you ask for Coke,
    The reply will be a question, "what kind of Coke?"
    ie, RC, pepsi, mtn dew, dr pepper, coca cola,

    Yup, that's how it was in Texas.
    You asked for a pop you either got punched or a lolly pop.

    "Pop" is a northern state thing- Like Minnesota and Michigan. I won't claim more states, based on my limited experience. I was born in Minnesota but got involuntarily transported to SoCal when I was 3, in 1955.

    I've called it pop all my life,from Ca to Denmark,back to Ca then to Wa.I grew up knowing soda as the nasty salty stuff in a co2 charged bottle for scotch....AKA soda water.
    And welcome new guy,we do like humor here but lately a few flakes have squeezed thru the lines...glad you don't seem to be one.:grin:

    OK, now that all that stuff is out of the way; here is some info for the experts to chew on!

    VIN: 466676D101596 (from title)

    Motor: LT 5XI00804 (from somebody else reading it)

    This is reportedly a 1966 Wildcat Custom Convertible with a 1965 401 engine, bench seat, automatic, all stock. Depending on the web site consulted, the info changes so I question if it is accurate. The original build sheet is reportedly coming with it and was found under the rear seat.

    Tried to upload the .docx file showing the build sheet but it rejected my file. Sorry, I'm a "newbee"!
    WAIT...it looks like it attached the PDF version :grin:

    Please advise if this worked and it is readable, Thanx.

    Looks great! I opened and looked at it @ 400% very clear.
    LT is a 65 401 that is true. a/c on a convertible, nice!
