Yes and it’s a shame about the 250. It’s got everything: floor mounted manual, sunroof, euro headlights, factory hitch. But it is remarkably rusty! Nice color too- beige with dark red leather !
The 220 needs some body work, a paint job and the wood restored. It also needs the mechanicals gone through but should be solid mechanically.
