1960 Schwinn Continental value?

Here is the ad (no picture):

Selling 2 vintage 1960 Schwinn Continental Touring 10 Speed bicycles.

"Serial Numbers L037043 and L041673 made in November 1960.
They are 2 different size frames, I believe they are 19" and 21".
Original paint and decals with some minor chips and scratches.
Brand new tubes and tires.

Both need to be rebuilt to get running again and are missing some original parts but frames are in fairly good condition. I would like to sell these together as they have been together for 50+ years
."

I emailed the seller already. It's impossible to know the condition of the bikes and what parts are missing/not original, but I would assume these are worth a bit more than your average 70's Continentals if they are in decent shape. What is a realistic ball park ebay value of one of these? Assuming a condition of fair but missing some original parts.

I would probably want to keep one for my collection if they are in decent shape and hopefully sell the other one to pay for it.
