Um... Yes on the first one, BIG NO on the rest of them...
There are four or five usable vehicles there. The rest are crusher material.
My sense is that the question more aptly put is how much money you need to throw into the ugly ducklings to make them "usable".
More than the desperately poor people of Akron County can afford.
When I was attending high school, I lived in a desperately poor area. Then I moved, and Uncle Sam paid for the move. All I had to do was indenture myself and learn how to swim and kill people for a living. So I learned a trade.
Making the most of your opportunity. After growing up fixing fence, stacking hay, and poaching, the Army made me an engineer who made barb wire barriers, stacked sandbags, and carried a rifle. Should have joined the Navy.
I learned a trade, traveled the world, stayed mostly in hotels, or the occasional tent.
You can guess which branch. :)
One might find a decent radio in there. Maybe a decent set of unmatched tires.
Looked hard at the Air Force. Wasn't impressed with the recruiters - patronizing.

Many of those tires haven't moved in years. Doubt you could find many without rot.
If you can drag a car onto a trailer, it is worth about $300 +- a bit, at a scrap yard.
Depending on many things, it can be much more if you are able to part is out.
But that is counting your labor at $0 per hour.
My mechanic skills leave a lot to be desired but you can't beat my hourly rate.
