Considering selling 3 W123 projects.

Hope this is the right spot for this question.
My Dad has 3 W123 diesels that he is considering selling in order to move on to some other projects. We aren’t sure what they are worth, or how much of a demand there is for these cars now. We would really appreciate some advice on this. It would be great to see them go to another enthusiast.

Brief descriptions:

1981 300D. Yellow. Around 260k miles. Was running and driving until earlier this summer when the camshaft broke. No idea how much damage was done to the engine. Floors are rusty and have been patched before. Body has some other rust too. Interior not great, but I’ve seen worse.

1981 300D. Silver. Parts car. Good engine that could be used for the yellow ‘81. Very rusty. Floor repairs were started before it was decided car was too far gone to save. Interior is apart but we have most pieces.

1983 240D. Blue. 318k miles. Engine seems to be seized. We had it running and lot drivable (barely) about 10 years ago. Passenger floor needs to be patched, drivers floor seems ok. Body has plenty of dents and scrapes but not as rusty as the other 2. We have another engine for this one, it ran fine on a stand about 10 years ago. Interior somewhat apart but we have most pieces.

None of these are running. All would need to be trailered. We’d really prefer to sell all 3 together.

Thank you very much!

My best estimate would be, considering the condition of all three cars, their combined worth is $300-$500. If cars have uncracked dashes, the dash alone could be worth $300-$500.
