Lets assume they swapped a 5.0 and the TC rear was toast. They swap on a drum rear end and call it done. Will 14" wheels work on the front of a 11" car?

no but14" will fit the rear with  disc

He probably wrecked it years ago, put a TC doors on it, swapped the small molding (not difficult), threw the TC nose on it, then painted it. Then maybe he got into another accident, and got the black header and hood.

Why worry about it so much?
It's Gumby's fault.

Not worried, just confused. You probably have it right though, cloned a TC awhile ago then wrecked it again.

So it's definitely not a TC. This owner's only had it for 2 months because they wanted (and bought) a Park Avenue. Now I'm REALLY confused...  Park Avenue??? WANTED?

Hell, he will really hate me, All I am swapping onto my Bird is the TC side trim and header panel.  Complete with the "turbo Coupe" in the door peices.

IF it got a door swap(probably), it's easy enough to apply red tape tape to the rest of the trim... I've seen a TC with aqua trim and a another '87-'88 with gold trim...

It's stated the prev owner was a Ford mechanic, probably pieced together...
