What a lazy moron.
Possibly, but I'm thinking either "clickbait" (seller actually has 5 old wrecks and this photo is to get you to imagine what they would look like restored) - or - it's a scam. The pictured car, if running is very valuable - a lot of people would know this. The potential buyer reaches out and gets a story about how the poor seller lost storage and needs to get rid of these quick, etc., etc., etc. There are many more ways to properly market nice Corvettes than this overly brief ad, with a few tempting shots, a $1 price tag, no phone number and a relatively remote location (not the middle of nowhere - but not exactly easy to get to -unless you happen to live close). Buyer beware.

Wonder why it has been driven less than 100 miles since it was fully restored 15 years ago?!

The photos are a little odd, though. Car is in focus but background and even foreground aren't. Looks photoshop-y.
An experienced photographer with the right camera can play with the depth-of-field to achieve what I simply call "selective focus." Example below. I think that's part of what we're seeing. The secondary question is, is the car really that shiny - or - did someone use the new AI (artificial intelligence) image manipulation software to enhance the car's look? One can only answer that question by examining in person - unless the Seller will give you some unadulterated simple cell phone pics.

Reactive? Typo or ???? I kind of like it . Keeps us guessing. Sort of an 'approach with caution term'. 😀
I stand by my last comment - he is a diamond-in-the-rough, another gem in the ACD club. If you think reactive - then think excellent customer service.

Generally, the more detail and embellishments added to a 'story,' the more believable the 'story' becomes --- and for you film fans --- beware of Keyser Söze.

Red and blue lights are popular with the low rider crowd.
May also have a siren under the hood.
Can't see the wheels from those shops.
The car is also listed on the LayItLow.com Lowrider Forums...
Advert Copy from that forum on Mar 21, 2022 says:
"Absolutely Beautiful Classic Car! 1949 Packard Deluxe Eight 22nd series, large white wall tires, color is Black cherry and silver top, triple plated chrome, new upholstery done to the original look, grey carpet, trunk is finished with spare white wall tire, the motor is original 288 cubic inch with 64500 original miles, runs strong and quiet, does not smoke. This car is a 6 volt positive ground, straight eight, all gauges, clock, radio, lights, blinkers, windows, door locks all work. The block has been flushed and Evans coolant is now in the block. I need to move this car out from my garage because I have a new vehicle coming in. I dropped price from 40K to 30K to move it. This car is mostly original with a few minor upgrades. This car looks like a gangster car, it naturally sits low and has original fender skirts. This car runs great but like all old cars they need TLC all the time, this car holds original history and I hope new owner takes care of it. I can be contacted and I will tell you all the upgrades. 805-280-1944"
Thinking this solves the riddle of the red lights.

I spoke with the owner. I think this car is exactly what Matt is looking for (...not). The car has not been driven since the mid-90s - sitting since. At some point in the past the engine has been started/run off a gas can and battery - but nothing else could be tested. Car was an amateur restoration in the 80s (paint coming off all over). Needs everything (e.g. brakes, complete interior and most all chrome redone. Matching numbers, but, wrong carb and no air cleaner (nothing covering that carb - except hood). Here is the best part: electrical wiring is "poor at best." Owner bought it for the drivetrain for another Cord convertible - but ended up selling convertible before starting project. Owner's price ideas based upon parts value, i.e. supercharged drive train plus other parts. Restoration of this car would be challenging to accomplish for less than buying a car in better condition - IMO. Owner is refreshingly friendly, open, honest and frank (ACD lifetime member).

Did the original backseat upholstery actually say Packard Deluxe Eight - twice! Is this in case you forgot what car you are driving???

Pointed out by my buddy Jim. Possibly for sale, owner is slightly coy.

The "442" designation confused me and maybe somebody can explain. The car has a 122" wheelbase so it should be 422 the way I understand it for a 1934. It is the smaller "F" straight eight.

Is anyone familiar with Ford Crestmark Plate on the car. I have never seen one. Was it Ford’s attempt to keep up with “Body by Fisher”?
