I guess there's no telling. BaT can get a little weird though.
Take a look at this GTO that sold not long ago. Crazy, crazy high bids for a car with lots of issues. Very nice-car price for a car that's definitely a project.

From what I can see, it's worth less than $20K. And if it's worse than what I can see, maybe much less. Or just pass and look for a better project to start with.
