Sixth digit through eleventh digit - Indicates the numerical portion of the serial number beginning with number 100,001 and running consecutively regardless of make or model:

Example:

Plymouth High line 2 door "A" Canada 147th unit

The above numbering system requires that complete and accurate serial number information be supplied when reffering to a specific car model.

In the example, I think the #5 should mean 1965... but anyway that's some good info...
