What is your final goal? I know you said "restore", but that is interpreted many different ways.

If your goal is to have a car you can show, I'd suggest you keep looking and start with a much better car.

If your goal is to have a nice driver/cruiser and you have a few years and a healthy budget ($25,000 or more, possibly) then I would suggest you keep looking and start with a much better car. Then you can drive it sooner.

If your goal is to have a daily driver, you have no long-term plans to pass the car on to another owner or to a family member, for low five figures you can get these there. If you can do your own welding and painting you'll do a bit better. The steel itself is not too pricey, it's the labor. And that's assuming you do all the mechanical, electrical, and interior work.

If your goal is to have a car in your barn that is started on enthusiastically but lingers on for years as budget trickles in, you've found the right cars. When they've been exposed to the elements and left to sit like these have, there is nothing that won't need either replacement, restoration, or repair. And all that equals time, money, or both. A lot of cars in this class go back onto eBay or Craigslist every couple of years, with a couple thousand more dollars invested and little progress made.

If you are really interested in taking this path, I wouldn't offer over $2,000 for either. Based on what I see, probably less. Both cars need everything. And be sure they have clear titles.
