It must have had some issues. The online photos looked like it was ready to be re-done. On tv Steve talked about wondering if the fiberglass flairs would stay on which made me think it probably did not look that good up close.
It reminds me of the car I started with. It looked good but needed everything.

Now (in perpetual holding pattern still on the interior)
You probably can't tell it from the pictures but there is night and day difference in the 2 cars.
Modified cars which are modified well do, do well. Modified cars which are poorly modified, not so much. Look at the Ring Brothers Pantera. Like it or not it was a fabulously crafted car and it brought $300k plus fees.
I think of many cars well modified over the years which were easily over $100k.
My suggestion to cars close to stock and in good shape, keep them that way. Cars which are already a bit hacked, go with good mods or themes.
The Ebay add comes up from time to time with the atrocity Pantera with the Fiero like nose.
