It really depends on what you want. I wanted 15' wheels, polished sidepipes, wood steering wheel, glove box and low miles and in excellent condition. I had been looking for awhile and when what I wanted came up on Cobra Country I pounced. I talked them down a little but it was worth every penny I paid.

Haven't heard much about Pre-Superformance from the High Tech plant in SA, but I'm wondering if you are talking about the High Tech Cobras made here in the USA by Tim Gunn and his partner? (Can't remember the partner's name). If it is the US Hi Tech, they are very well built cars from most accounts I've heard and very close to an original chassis and body but not identical.

Yes, everything has changed and the Cobra you have is nothing like the Superformance Cobra of today.

You need to be far more specific with your request.
Exactly what are you being offered?
Pictures of the car.
Pictures of the chassis and suspension.
Documentation of what you are being offered.
Details (specific) of the build.
Etc
Without the above, calling anything a "1965 HiTech" means absolutely nothing, as the seller may not know what he has either, and is pulling things from the web and using it to describe his/her car. We see this mislabeling quite a bit here.
So with that said, what type of documentation does the car have with it?
Original build paperwork and receipts?
Copy of original MSO?
Etc?
Once you respond accordingly, we can then assist you with a quantified response of our own as to the quality and original origin of your car.
