Welcome to eWillys.com, a website for vintage jeep enthusiasts. I update this website nearly every day with jeep deals, jeep history, interesting reader projects, jeep related info, and more.
These quick searches can help you find things on eBay. People list in the wrong categories all the time, so don't be surprised to see brochures in the parts area for example.
The links to posts below show jeeps grouped by models, condition, and other ways. Some of these jeeps are for sale and others have been sold. If you are unsure whether a vehicle is still for sale or not, email me at d [at] ewillys.com for more info.
There are plenty of interesting, unusual, historic and surprising stories related to Jeeps and their owners. In addition, some of these features have nothing to do with jeeps. This link will display all featured stories starting from the latest.
Looking for parts and not sure where to go? There are a variety of large and small new and used parts sellers both online and offline.
Importantly, the allure of buying a project jeep can be romantic. The reality of restoring a jeep can be quite different, expensive and overwhelming without the right tools and resources. So, tread carefully when purchasing a "project". If you have any concerns about buying a vintage jeep, or run across a scam, feel free to contact me for help, comments or concerns .
UPDATE: Status Unknown. Was No Price.
Runs and drives.
“1965 kaiser Jeep fj6a Fleetvan. 4 cylinder/ automatic. Runs and drives great. New tires, brakes, and carburetor. This cool old van was originally a USPS mail van. Right hand drive. Perfect for farmers markets. Attention getter.”
If memory serves me correctly, the grill bars on this model were the typical up & down placement. Back in the late 1980’s, I had a opportunity to get one of these for free, just didn’t have the room for it. Wasn’t there another manufacturer that had a contract to build these fro the post office? could explain the grill question, Chrysler comes to mind.
Mike,
It’s certainly possible some other entity built them, but I haven’t run across a specific name. Here’s another FJ06 with the horizontal grill bars: https://www.classiccardeals.com/Listing/203124/1965-Willys-Jeep-FJ6.aspx
May I ask a serious question, what would be a reasonable price on a truck like this?
Why I ask: I’ve been tasked with finding a “cute” delivery vehicle for my wife’s decor and flower company, and naturally they like this obscure truck.
Thank you for the insights – and to Dave E. for keeping up an awesome site!

OK, I now have an answer to my inquisitive question. If you do a google search FJ6 Fleetvan, you will come up with a page of pictures showing two (2) different styles of post office vehicles both classified as FJ6 Fleetvans. Note the different windshields and vertical and horizontal grill bars. The one with the vertical griil bars id the only one that I’ve ever seen. The other, horizontal grill, resembles the full size Dodge van Chrysler made for the Post office in the 1960’s. I trying to copy & paste the link to this page, but for some reason, it doesn’t work, so just google search FJ6 Fleetvan and you’ll see what I’m talking about.
That sure seems strange given that the FJ-3 to FJ-3A switched also. You’d think they would have figure out the grille by the time they got to the FJ-6 model.
Is this still for sale? The post link says it has expired so I can’t find any details on how to contact the seller. I’m interested.
Is this still for sale? It’s says it’s been expired?
Hi Icee,
I looked to see if the FJ had been relisted on Craigslist, but it hasn’t. I’ve updated the post. If I see the FJ reappear I will send you an email.
