the car is nearly 35 years old, but 80k track miles is hard to imagine. figure a 3 mile track, that's 26k+ laps! i tracked, built and raced a car for nearly 12 years and did not come close to sniffing 10k miles on track per my mile documentation. i did a lot of laps & may bank accounted proves it..
the fender well cut outs are in the location of what was likely a bolt in autopower rollbar. i had one in my SC when simply tracking and the mounts landed right there. i drank the coolaid and installed one in the fender and floorboard sheet metal and carried that for looking at boat anchor around for about a year. if the seller disputes that, one of you BAT guys should ask him to show a photo of the tin tub floor just behind the front seat in the rear footwell. there'd be 4 holes about 7/16" in diameter.
seller admits paint work so that's that. I'd like to see the headliner, peddle rubber (track wear is not like daily driving on them), the underside, the frunk carpet pulled back and better photos of the engine bay. if work has been done it will show.
now, who's getting one to the mouth?

Almost certainly hyperbole on the mileage claim. It looks like it was an HPDE car, so most likely driven to/from track events. That adds up real quickly and could easily be claimed on a “track only” car.
Seller sounds like a douche and a liar, so I wouldn’t risk buying from him. That said, car looks to be in good shape and obviously cared for. Pictures show it has the spendy bits on the suspension, so if it was also monoballed and had the rubber bushings replaced as needed it could be a good car and probably in better mechanical shape than a low mileage garage queen. Body damage is another story and will/should have a huge impact on value.
