Under Dickson's conjecture (which is widely believed and subsumed
under a number of more recent conjectures, including that of Bateman,
Horn, & Stemmler), there are infinitely many such primes.  The sequence begins
1, 121, 380, 506, 511, 3796, 5875, 6006, 8976, 9025, 9186, ...
and does not appear in the OEIS.

This GP code (gp is freely available at http://pari.math.u-bordeaux.fr/ )
for(k=1,1e7,if(isprime(6*k+1)&&isprime(12*k+1)&&isprime(18*k+1)&&isprime(36*k+1)&&isprime(72*k+1),print1(k",
")))
will produce the first 770 terms.  (Replace 1e7 with a larger number
if you'd like more.)
