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: **SOLD** Was $4000.
A little more on the Selouki and Faegel/Highway Products.
Not a jeep; just ad odd vehicle. It just struck me as odd. Maybe it’s wide enough to haul a jeep inside? It’s built to carry cargo.

“1958 Mobile Postal Van, last year for Fageol. All complete, not running, 8.2 British Leyland turbo diesel, engine turns over, 38 feet in length. Not enough time anymore, must sell $4,000.00/OBO Clear title.”
Very unique looking vehicle. I’m wondering where one would find replacement windshields? Lots of room inside—
These were a common sight in New Jersey back in the 1950-s & 60’s. The Seven Santini Brothers had a few of these Fageol vans. Fageol also manufactured trucks and buses. Frank Malatesta of Horseless Carriage Carriers, Paterson NJ restored a Fageol moving van of which I believe is still in his large collection, very large collection of vintage vehicles.
When I was just a little guy at St. Brendan’s R C School playground, like clock work, (at 8:21 AM) the Seven Santini Brothers Fageol moving van would come rumbling down Crooks Ave. towards route 46. While most kids were playing tag, I was waiting for the Seven Santini Brothers.
Wow that’s rough.
Fageol/Twin Coach was manufactured about a mile from here in Kent Ohio.
They went on to build the FJ’s, and a CJ5 called the Selouki for the middle eastern Jeep markets.
So there is a Jeep tie in.
Bill, I imagine the windshield would have to be custom made? But, who knows. Stranger items have landed on eBay!
Mike: You never cease to impress me with the breadth of your vehicle memory!
I gota ask. Where is the engine ? This would be a really cool rig to convert to a camper/cruiser . Great face on this van . Looks like its smiling ! Not sure I would trust an ancient British Leyland engine though. I had an MG once and in those days I could actually still get parts ! Needs a new owner with a vision and more dollars than cents ! 🙂 Mark j
Mark,
You’ll need to contact the owner via Facebook to learn more: https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/262851598227358/
I was thinking the same thing about a conversion, except I thought it would be cool for ‘someone else’ to convert it 🙂 … Too much money and time for me right now!
