I agree...rusted out metal-fatigued overpriced junk is so cool and because there are lugs it cannot break and it makes you feel more connected to the road or whatever.


But seriously, be wary of any old used frame. Contrary to the myth that steel lasts forever, it does not. You have no idea about the extent of metal fatigue. Either of those frames could last 20 more years or they could crack within 100 miles. Factor that into what you are willing to pay. Otherwise, find a new(er) frame that stands a better chance of going many many more miles.
