He may have been sold a bill of goods MT. That car is not an original.....it may have some original parts in it (Ford did sell the die-cast 'Cobra' emblem on the dash until about 1975).
He claims it is a 65? Ok,..the only front bumpers for the 65 model were the extended push-bars. The bumpers in that picture were not available until 66 and I am not sure they are correct, but the rounded ends give it away as not being a 65.
Furball,..anyone that knows what a torque wrench is, knows the AC Cobra was derived from the original stampings of the AC (hench the name AC Cobra).
