In the late 80s my ex and I rented a "Cougarbird" in Denver, with Mercury Cougar sheetmetal and badging on the outside and Ford Thunderbird ID inside (or vice-versa). It had like 2 miles on the odometer.
(We hit snow and fishtailed back to Denver from Breckinridge, and I remember wishing we'd rented a Suby.)
The notion that the dash was replaced seems plausible to me. I'd definitely feel better about it if all the "tamper-evident" VIN stickers matched the firewall and data plates.
