As far as rust let me clarify my original post. All are California cars with complete floor pans. I pulled the carpet and got under them and knocked around and they are solid. The battery boxes are all in tact. Pulling the carpet in the two cars that have it showed some surface oxidation but no substantial rust. Didnt manage to pull the rocker covers but went after them with a flaslight and a tapping stick and have the following conclusion

1) (silver) Car has some surface rust in the front trunk. There is a little rust around the base of the windshield that can probably be cleaned up with a media blast (mostly surface). everything else looked and sounded solid.

3) (orange) Car is solid and has no rust as far as an hour picking over it could discern. It has been stored indoors its entire life

4) (blue) This car may have some problems, I only picked over it for about 15 minutes as having the engine out immediately gave me the impression of it being a project I dont want to deal with right now. It looked like it was solid and there was no rust under any of the carpet or at first glance under the car or in the engine compartment but it may have some rot hiding in it. Lets assume it does

Edit: There may or may not be some small problems in these cars as far as rust is concerned, but I think they are solid. I have owned my fair share of old datsuns, a Fiat, and a couple early 70's pony cars and I generally know what to look at listen for in an old car. Ill take the $500 figure to heart if I find rust in these cars. Assuming I dont, I would like a rough estimate on the value of a clean example.
