Is this a real GT frame?

Is it worth buying?

If you like it and will have fun building and riding it then, Yes.

If you are looking for good resale value or to make a profit on it, No.

Thanks, I'll get the serial no. soon

Yes, hopefully that will shed some light on it. Is it steel? If so, it's not an Avalanche.

Yeah, the seller said it was steel.

I can not see that this is a genuine GT, as there's no steel GT frame with a integrated disc brake mount other than the GT 'Bad Mutha' Chucker and this isn't it.
The rear dropouts are a big giveaway that it isn't genuine, unless for foreign markets
4130 Chromoly GT Chucker 'Bad Mutha'
GT Chucker 'Bad Mutha' v2 Aluminium frame.
GT Chucker 2 (aluminium frame) dropped the 'Bad Mutha' name.

Palomar's were steel until the early 2000's IIRC... don't think they had disc tabs though, although that could be an aftermarket mod. The rear end of the top tube should have 'GT' inlaid in it. If it hasn't got that, it's something else!

The search for truth ends with this guys,

The seller had been on a vacation for a week and already sold it to someone, just this night to another buyer.

Bummer,
But thank you all for the help.
Maybe I'll just save up for a karakoram or a chucker 3.0 frame.
