The one in back looks like a schwinn sting Ray. I don’t know anything about the other one but it appears to be a redline dirt bike.
Edit: Just fyi, I think those three speed sting rays are kinda valuable.

A couple of Schwinns and a Redline BMX. They’re quality bikes from the 70s and are worth cleaning up and getting back on the road. I’m not a collector though so cannot give any valid information about value but if you could get all 3 for $100 US or so you’ll be OK. Cleaning and regressing all of the bearings, new tires and tubes, new cables, brake shoes, and some other bits and bobs and you’re good to go

The Schwinn is a Stingray Fastback 5-speed. Lemon (later called Kool Lemon) was available ’69-73. 100% worth trying to get. This era of Schwinn clean up fantastically and these Stingrays still bring good coin and will always hold their value. That alone is probably worth a few hundred as it sits and could easily bring 500$+ cleaned and properly set up again–what is visible in photos appears all original.
The LeTour is a decent Japanese import Schwinn, worth somewhere between $75-150 (just my ballpark figure)
The RedLine might have some value, that era of BMX has become more popular as kids from the 70s and 80s are middle aged folks with disposable income. It could be $50 or it could be much more.

The stingray is an awesome bike, had a blue one back in the day, that flat slick sucks when you like to corner fast, ended up with two rocks inside my knee after it slid mid corner. The grey bike looks like an ST but not positive, the ten speed is a Schwinn Le Tour I’m guessing an early 70s model, I suggest replacing the axles if you want it ridable, I had one about the same age and both axles bent, and going down a hill at speed with both wheels wobbling at different rates is not a fun ride, lol.

The red tuff mags themselves are probably worth a fair chunk of coin. Vintage BMX stuff gets wildly expensive quickly and the interested parties are quite particular. I tend to only lightly clean and leave everything original, even tires. People go wild for that stuff. It is a bit of a lotto and hard to ID off the pic, but some cross referencing at BMX museum forums would probably help ID quickly. They’ve got a ton of information on there.

Just to muddy the waters a bit, the wheels on the yellow Schwinn seem strangely and significantly larger than the wheels on the Redline. It could be the camera angle … or it could be that the bike is a Manta-ray with 24” wheels.

People on eBay ask $1000s for those [Schwinn 5 speeds](https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_trksid=p2334524.m570.l1313&_nkw=schwinn+stingray+5+speed&_sacat=156524&LH_TitleDesc=0&_odkw=schwinn+stingray+yellow&_osacat=156524), although that may be an inflated value. You might get a better value on a vintage [Schwinn forum.](https://www.schwinnbikeforum.com/index.php?PHPSESSID=mmjlh99r0lf5ma9f4v10g20ee2&board=15.0)
