FS: Two Merckx Project Framesets 53cm(?) Primed for Paint

A pair of what appear to be matching Merckx frames. The serial numbers are pretty hard to decode, but based on my sleuthing they are likely 80's Corsa frames (apparently Gita has some serial # irregularities in that time and these have over BB cable routing, so not 90's). .The '3' on the left side of the BB seems to indicate a 53 frame size, measurements for both, by my hand are as follows:
Top Tube 52cm ctc
Seat tube 52cm ctc 54cm ctt
12cm headtube

They are primed for paint (or ride them as ghosts!) and both free of dings, dents or bends. I am asking $200 plus actual shipping for each. Detail pics HERE

Frame A
Serial left side: C3 right Side: E4419




Frame B SOLD
Serial left side: A3 right side: E4462
