I don't think it's a scam - just a pieced together car. I know of more than
one example of specific cars that began life as something else or multiple
somethings else. I do doubt the 1960 model year, though it is certainly
possible (I'm sure we've all heard of cases where one valid registration is
used to license a different car. The doors are later, but they cold have been
used to better enclose the cabin. Even the square rear arches could be welded
on from a different car. Maybe if we knew whether the rear springs were semi
or quarter eliptics...

Very interesting that it may all be a scam. I emailed him for photos of the
bed and tailgate, I'll post when they arrive. So what do you all know about
Clive Baker I'd like to learn. Hey lets make one : )
