Which one gets killed by the big bad wolf, and which two get saved?

White Sedan:

--- Pros: runs well. Rust repairs look easy for a noob, all just flat sheet metal I think, probably no panels need to order. I like looks of the sedan body style. Title in hand. floors solid. I have worked through some issues with this car and got it running pretty well, and am well on way to "sorting" the car.
--- Cons: just a sedan, and lower perceived value than the coupes. Trunk almost all rotted out (but hardwood floor could cover welding sins). Rockers rotted. White paint kind of sucks and shows all flaws including the peeling clearcoat from bad paint job. Front seats all ripped except passenger back/top. Back of headliner shrunk and is pulling away from back window. Rotted muffler. Can't ever make a convertible from a sedan.
^^^ 114.011.12.002569
- rot in both rockers
- rotted out trunk
- cracked dash
- huge rips in driver seat
- rear of headliner falling down
------------------------------------
Black Coupe:
--- Pros: restored in 90's (by seller), single owner car from 1972-2001 and then stored by son-in-law since. Son-in-law stored car since 2001, garaged until 2013. sunroof, leather interior w no rips, crack free dash, stainless muffler, very solid trunk.
--- Cons: title is going to cost me $150 plus any fees the seller has to pay to get duplicate title for deceased father-in-law if I can even get the title. Not currently running due to rotted trans cooler lines. Rot in rockers and some in floors too.
^^^ 114.023.12.008xxx
- white leather interior (starting to smell like mold)
- sunroof
- rot around driver rocker front and rear plus around rear driver wheel
- good dash
- small dent above rear windshield
- paint looks pretty nice in my opinion
- original owner --> 2002. I bought from son-in-law who restored the car in the 90's and stored it since 2002.
- title might be a problem. I'm working on it.
- needs tank cleaning. Not currently running on its own.
- stainless exhaust
---------------------------------------
Blue Coupe:
--- Pros: Chrome tunnel/Floor shifter. Interior better than sedan. Rockers solid. Lots of new parts from "recent" mechanical work. Trunk floor pretty solid, but one section of previous welded in panel. Good muffler. Engine runs with fuel in carbs and supposedly sounds good. Could be made into a convertible some day.
--- Cons: rear end body damage including rear bumper and trunk lid that isn locking. big rot in driver side floor, kind of molested with non stock radio, blow-by hoses disconnected for some reason, aftermarket (?) cruise control. Rust spots on hood. Going to cost me another $100 for the title. Ripped front passenger seat bottom. Not currently running because I haven't tried to make it run
^^^114.023.12.000169
- floor shifter
- floor rot
- Rear end damage
- Cracked dash
- needs tank cleaning. Not currently running on its own.
- good exhaust and many "new" parts.
-------------------------------------
Trying to get together my plan. I need to learn how to use my welding equipment.
