I think you're right. You don't invest in a garage like that to preserve a car like that, and want to let the car go, just because. I have a feeling the car is getting sold because of orders from 'on high.'
Yeppers - I think someone is in ill health or passed away, and the kids or other relatives don't know their a$$ from a hole in the ground. A 57 Ford is somewhat of a desireable car, and it looks like it may have been pampered, but someone dont know what the bleep their doing.

Well, yeah, you don't wanna put diesel in it.... Hand to heart, swear to God, U-Haul puts what fuel their trucks use on the key fob, just to remind people so they don't screw it up. "But it's a truck! And all trucks run on diesel...don't they?"
He is letting you know your not getting one of these. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AMC_Concord#cite_note-77 Solargen Electric[edit] Development[edit] Battery powered AMC Concords were produced by Solargen Electric Motor Car Company during 1979 and 1980.[61] The idea was developed by Steven J. Romer, a lawyer from Manhattan, who secured a United States Department of Energy (DOE) grant to build electric cars in 1979.[62] The company also received incentives and vacant buildings from the city of Cortland, New York.[62] Romer's previous negotiations included a promised restart of heavy-duty diesel truck production in 1977, along with a line of Subaru-bodied electric cars, using the original Brockway Motor Company facilities in Cortland.[63][64] Solargen's plan was to purchase Concord station wagon gliders from AMC and install batteries and direct current electric motors.[65] The cars were to use more robust and resilient rechargeable lead crystal batteries that Romer bought from its inventors.[66][67] The objective was for the Solargen Electric to be like a regular compact passenger automobile, instead of the unusual designs of the other electric vehicles on the market.[68] It was to be able to travel 60–65 miles (97–105 km) without a charge and to reach up to 90 miles per hour (145 km/h).[68] The Solargen Electric was to be priced at $9,500, could be completely recharged with an extension cord on regular 110 house current in about six hours, or in half that time with 220 volts, while the future installation of 440 volt coin-operated recharging units in filling stations along roadways was claimed to provide recharging in minutes.[68] Production[edit] Solargen began establishing dealerships, with thirty planned to be opened across the county by the end of October 1979.[69] Problems were encountered with the advanced batteries, so the cars came with 20 regular lead-acid batteries underneath the hood and beneath the wagon's rear storage compartment.[66] The Solargen actually provided a range of 30–32 miles (48–51 km) after a 12-hour charge, and not able to reach highway speeds.[65][70] The battery cars were "remarkably silent,.. the only noticeable sound being an electrical 'whine' intentionally engineered into the design to warn pedestrians during acceleration of up to 18 mph." (29 km/h)[71] The cars carried a price tag of about $17,000.[66] The Solargen’s short production run of converted Concord station wagons was halted in late December 1979 due to delays in receiving a "major component" according to company officials.[66] Subsequently, Solargen launched a $2.2 billion lawsuit against AMC claiming that the automaker conspired and reneged on a binding agreement to supply 3,000 Concords without a powertrain at $3,000 each and then not only raised the price to $4,593 per glider, but also delayed their delivery.[72][73] The lawsuit also alleged that price increase and the delays were the result of pressure from General Motors "for the purpose of sabotaging Solargen's prospects of commercial success" and that AMC was in a conspiracy with GM in violation of the Sherman Antitrust Act.[73] Legacy[edit] Continuing the enterprise’s unusual deals and history, Romer is believed to have gone to Sierra Leone in 1991, along with $25 million from 40 different clients.[74] Romer was later convicted of defrauding $7 million from investors, as well as being handed a 22-year prison sentence.[62][75] Some of the Solargen cars have been converted to run with regular AMC engines (including the "personal demo car of the owner of Solargen")[76] and only a few of the original electric-powered Concord wagons still exist[62] while some are not operational when they are sold.[77]
The only thing that would have made this ad better would have been if the seller mentioned the Cobra Licence Plate and nothing else: "1977 Chevy Malibu wagon. Custom Cobra plate"
