Unless it's rare and precious metal like the ones inside a catalytic converter, scrap value is significant when you have, literally, a ton of it. Otherwise, it's just nickels and dimes.
Scrap value isn't that much. I say you'd be very lucky to get $1 for both. Fixing them can vary between $70 & $120. Unless they are very desirable, they are just a cool hose reel.
Weird thread.
I can't think of anything that I'd be embarrassed to drive. I just wouldn't be interested to drive it. Although, I have noticed that I've teased about a couple choices about cars, they are Chevrolet SSR and second generation Isuzu Amigo/Rodeo Sport.
