Quite possible the customer canceled his order and the car sat for a
while. Many early build car were so titled.

Micheal, some states would title a car depending on when the car was sold
(vs. when it was built). Can you do something about it? Yes. Check with
your local DMV and point out that they made a 'mistake' when printing your
title. Take some documentation showing the breakdown on your cars VIN (or
serial number).

When I titled my '64 Daytona after bringing back from California, the
title listed a "1" as an "I". I brought my documentation, including a copy
of the build sheet, and the state made the correction with no questions
asked.
