That is mostly a Tamiya Astute, although the front arms and uprights look like they are off a Thundershot?

Yep its an Astute alright!

Value always depends on what someone is prepared to pay for it!!

How much do you want for it?

There's a couple of cracks and breaks in some plastic parts corrosion and rust on screws and metal parts 

That's why I'm unsure on price I see they sell for quite high prices 

might as well clean it up try bring some life back to it

The weak link in an Astute will always be the ball diff , then the fragile front end

From first glance the one on the left said Schumacher to me. The chassis pan looks familiar and those wing mounts definitely look Schumacher-y. Probably a Cougar I reckon.

No idea on the other one.

I am sure I remember seeing something like the one on the right in a vintage RC magazine once. That gearbox is quite distinctive. I vaguely recall it being of German origin - Robbe or Graupner perhaps? I will do some Googling and get back to you if I find out anything conclusive.

The one on the right is a Kyosho / Robbe Sand Skipper / VW Baja Bug / Toyota Hilux chassis from about 1982 😎

Yep, the one on the right is a Robbe/Kyosho Toyota Hilux. This is what it looks like with its gubbins onboard:
