Maybe it was used as some type of circuit racer.

I can remember back in the early 80's seeing a few street cars including XY's with flared guards and an extremely wide footprint similar to this car.

Agree, the (big) rears would most likely have been sold of to another racer and a couple of skinny's fitted to roll it around.

The video mentions it's been raced and heavily modified over it's lifetime, plus there's a few 'ANDRA' stickers on it, it is what it is.
