Looks like the third car out of Fremont in 1965 to me. The very first digit will always be a 1
in the vin number on the older cars.
1XXXXXX3 for example,

The plant did not number the cars differently for
a GTO vs a Catalina or Tempest until 1966 so I
would guess that it was the third car off the line.

Thanks Tom,

I'll write him back quoting your response with links to this thread in case someone else adds anything. And also to the main page of PY.

Also sending him a link to PHS.
