That second one is a real looker!
Easily worth $12,000+

On the bright side, it does have an ashtray! :)

I got the exact specification I wanted**, although not running, and the car is not all blown apart.
Less than $7K just a few months ago including the drive to collect it from the seller.

*Porsche'phile, manipulating sales prices to unreasonable and unsustainable levels for the gain of those in on the scheme.
See also stock manipulation, Ponzi scheme, recent insane pricing of even the most mundane, slow, and ill handling Porsche models.

**S2 with hot TS engine, twin DCOE Webers, suspension upgrades, nearly stock appearance.

"Walter Mitty" fantasies?
Actually not as bad as I expected from the comments.
At least they are symmetrically placed and mostly Lotus related.

I think the asking price is another fantasy.
