Default Frame code

Hello,
I saw this code on a frame I’m interested in. It’s supposed to be for a ‘65 GTO. Can anyone tell me what the code represents?
Thank you

It looks embossed (raised) rather than stamped. My guess it is the p/n of that piece of the frame assembly. The frame info is generally stamped on the left side between rear wheel and bumper. P/n, assembly plant & date on the outside of the frame and VIN on the top of the frame. Refer to this GTO FORUM link.

The important frame numbers on a 64-67 Tempest Series car are stamped on the LH (drivers side) frame rail between the rear wheel and rear bumper.
Chevrolet is the same.

GTO Restoration Guide has this information.

It looks like it is a production date code to me

I have a 1965 Kansas GTO and my frame "stamp" on the outside says 06105N2 (I assume June 10 65 second shift production?), and below that it has 3864503 (the 3 is very very faint, seems like that is the digit that differs between Chevy and Pontiac and Olds during that time?). My car is a 06C trim tag (third week June (14th-20th?)), Car Card appears to be 6/21/65, and has a 6/28/65 Protect-O-Plate date.
