There's an old saying "something is only worth as much as you can get for it"

So while the old shells might be rare, it doesn't seem like too many people want them anymore. So, even in good condition it still might not bring in a lot of money.

All that being said, if it is "junk" you could still possibly save the windows, doors, metal trim, skin, etc... and build a new frame, or give the components to someone willing to use them.
