Yeah it's tempting to think that a car titled as 1965 would be accepted but I'm afraid that's not the case in NSW. The date is when it is first presented for rego - sad but true. Yeah the price certainly looks steep, there was a bit of a bubble a few years back and I think it was 'Mr Mustang' that said a few people that bought continuation cars at the inflated prices would get their fingres burnt.
I just noticed Bryan is in Victoria so that might explain that one.

There has been a few cases of modern Cobras in the US coming over here titled as a 60's car and obtaining registration on that basis.

Good luck to them, I would hate to see what happens if they get caught though.

Exactly that was the case last year in NSW with an imported LHD Superformance wasn't it?
