At near $50K, I would never have bid on that car without seeing it in the flesh. Wrong engine, wrong interior, wrong wheels, etc. And even worse, a seller who was either unable or unwilling to provide more details and specifics on the car and its parts, but was full of wildly huckster-ish claims.

The body looked solid in the resto pics, and if the paint job was REALLY good, it was probably a fair deal. But the pictures provided weren't sufficient to evaluate paint surface quality, and in the images the color looked too light. Could just be the images, though.

Could it be that I was flagged cause I'm newly registered to BAT?
That's odd - I don't think they would block you for being a first time bidder. Plenty of cars have sold to first time bidders. I would definitely follow up with them to get an answer.
Wouldn't feel too bad about missing out on that car, either
