I found this pdf file, which officially states the same as what Robert wrote above:
http://casey.hsmv.state.fl.us/Intran...R/TL/TL-41.pdf However is dated: 05/01/03
I found this "newer" pdf file, which states that "kits cars" are to have the year of the vehicle it replicates:
http://casey.hsmv.state.fl.us/Intran...R/TL/TL-48.pdf and this document is date: 07/11/07
This July 2007 date cooresponds to SEMA's announcement that Florida has passed the "replica, hot rod, custom car" law which allows for these vehicles to have the year that they replicate:

So, I guess the question is: Was the Cobra Replica in question legally titled under the new process/law, or illegally titled before the new process/law when into affect?
