The first 4 in the partial VIN shows it is 1964. The 1 is just a placeholder, 04917 is the sequential car number which correlates to early-November '63 production (last Oct. # was 4045; last Nov. # was 6063).
FIOIIRE is the engine plant stamping:F indicates Flint, Michigan, engine plant;
10 (where capital-i is used as a one) means October;
11 (again capital-i for one) means the 11th;
RE is the option code for engine components and use: 327 cu.in., 365hp, single four-barrel Holley carb, high-lift camshaft, manual transmission.
I think you missed the -0- between the ones.
