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.

There are two Cobra manufacturers named Hi-Tech. The one in So. Africa that builds cars for Superformance, Shelby American, and AC...and the one that used to be in Arizona and built very accurate Cobra replicas as well.
Neither built cars in 1965, so the seller is saying he has a replica of a 1965 Cobra built by Hi-Tech.
Both companies do/did great work...I'm privileged to own one of each, but a good or bad buy depends on the specific build and condition.
If you can post pics, we'll try to help identify the car.
