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: Still Available.

Includes a parts van, too.
“have two of these one runs and drives, the other is for parts.”
UPDATE: **Status Unknown** Was $4490.
(01/05/2018) Needs some work and some paint.
“Cool Jeep Fleetvan from 1965 known as the FJ6-a model. Truck is in very good shape for the age with hardly any rust issues. Very hard to find these today especially in this condition.
The vehicle runs off a gas can. It has an electronic fuel pump that was installed too far away from the tank and too high. Needs to be moved close to tank as they push rather than pull. Will try to do this…
All glass is good except one of the front windshields. Flat glass so cost should be low.The only issue is the back door is currently off. I have the pieces in the van but will need some work.
No title..bill of sale only. Sold as is where is no refunds.”
UPDATE: Still Available.

Jesse noted that, “It was originally built in the 70s by my friend Gary Jack. He worked for the US Postal Service his whole career. When he retired, the tired FJ3 was also retired, so it went to scrap. At the time the FJ3 Postal FleetVans did not have the approval of the federal DOT and especially they did not have the approval of California DMV, because of the right hand drive and the seated / standing up driver operation. He was able to sneak out the scrapped pieces of the FJ3 that he had driven during his career, and a few others, enough to recreate and build a dream that he had during his career, to build a chopped top race truck. He did that. Gary and the FJ were a regulars at Riverside Raceway for a lot of years. In the 80s to the 90s this same FJ3 became a top NSRA street rod.”
“This is a 1963 Jeep FJ-3A custom mail truck. No expense was spared to take this iconic US Postal Office Fleet van and give it the modern upgrades and conveniences. Featuring a 350 Chevy engine. ”
Bumpers and wheels/rims aren’t original.

Has front little safaris windows that open up, DUE TO SPAM AND SCAMMERS NO EAMILS RETURNED WITHOUT A PHONE NUMBER, if the ad is up I have the van, don’t need help selling.”
UPDATE: Mike confirmed via an FJ-3A brochure that these are the correct rims for an FJ-3A. I have a hard copy of that brochure and the hubcaps with the jeep name are visible in some of the pics. There can’t be many these hubcaps left.
View all the information on eBay
“This set of 4 hubcaps is extremely rare…original equipment on the 1961-1965 Fleetvan – FJ-3/FJ3A – Walk-In Delivery Van. Willys Motors
introduced the two-wheel drive vehicle in 1961 and it was produced through 1965. Example of these hub caps on vehicle is shown in last
photo. Photo is example only…vehicle NOT included in this auction.
These hub caps measure 10″ in diameter…see photo.
These hub caps are almost 60 years old…they show their age…the chrome is gone, they have a few dents and dings and a bit of rust. Please
examine photos closely and judge their condition for yourself.
Please message any questions before bidding…I will respond ASAP.
Payment will be expected within 3 days of auction’s end. I usually ship the day after payment received…always within 3 days.
Thanks for checking-out my listing.”

Ron and Valerie Patton’s FJ-3 will appear on the Fantomworks reality tv show next Tuesday on Velocity. Read more here: http://www.ncnewsonline.com/news/lawrence-county-native-hits-reality-tv-with-jeep-restoration/article_b9f30e1a-6c02-11e7-a70b-f313d391a204.html
UPDATE: **SOLD**
(06/06/2017) Looks like some money was spent on this rebuild.
“This is a very rare 1961 Willys FJ3 Postal Van with original F134 Flat Head 4 and Borg Warner automatic transmission.
There is none nicer – Just completed the professional Exotic Coach Specialist 4 year mechanical restoration includes a long block rebuild, transmission, rear end, 12 volt wiring harness, brakes, cooling system, new carb, custom aluminum fuel tank, custom seats and so on. Too much to list. Van runs and drives great. Odometer reads 74,000 but just approximately 100 miles since rebuild. Top speed is 55 mph. Own a piece of history with this right side drive postal van made by Willys in Toledo, Ohio.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1650.
(11/14/2016) Worth a look. There could be parts value at the very least.
“Set up for a V8 Chevrolet Automatic. Has normal rust. Pure nostalgia! Some of the pictures are the refinished product from the internet. Mine is the one with rust. A great winter project!”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3500.
Doesn’t run, but appears pretty solid.
“4 cyl. 3 speed
24,000 miles
Does not run, sold as-is
Complete except missing title and one small piece of sheet metal on the dash
All glass is good except crack on lower windshield (all flat glass, so easily replaced)”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1800.
Jim spotted this one.
“Right hand drive power steering automatic inline 6”
UPDATE: **Status Unknown** Was $600.
Not sure how much value is here.
“For sale is a rare FJ-6 Mail Truck. So we’ll star with rarely does not necessarily equate to value. This mail truck is sold for parts or repair. There is an engine block with no head and no transmission. Both axles an extra Whiting roll-up door; extra front and rear bumper are included. Most of the glass is included. There is enough here to do a restoration.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2250.
Craig shared this one. Runs but could use some work.
“For sale or trade: 1966 Kaiser Jeep FJ-6 Fleetvan with its original F-134 Hurricane 4 cyl. engine and automatic transmission and two wheel drive. It apparently was a parcel delivery or mail truck. It’s not ready for the highway, but it does run and appears to have low miles. The body is very solid and made of aluminum or galvanized metal. The left side window is out and the drivers window (right side) needs repair. The rear slide-up door is in good shape but needs some adjustment. This would make a really cool ice cream truck or concession truck. I’m asking $2250 or will consider trade. Let me know what you have.”
Guy happened upon a photo of an FJ-3 while looking at the Internet Movie Car Database. This movie features a variety of vehicles. You can view all the cars from the movie here.

UPDATE: The jeep didn’t sell on eBay. It’s back for sale here: http://www.ewillys.com/2017/04/29/1948-cj-2a-paris-tx-2500
Mike shared this auction of a CJ-2A with a fiberglass body. In the background he spotted an FJ. It’s unclear if that is purchasable or not, but I was able to track down the gas station in Bogata. There’s also a pic at the bottom of this post.
“1948 willys cj2a jeep, has a fiberglass tub, so no rust through on body, chevy 350 v8 engine, was last cranked about 6 months ago, vehicle has been sitting in my shop for several years, needs a new ignition switch wired up, gas tanks hooked back up an some brake work, currently they are not working.. like I say the jeep has been sitting for several years an may need some tinkering here an there to get back on the road again.. the motor ran strong in it, has long tube headers, mild cam, 4 barrel edelbrock carb, dual point setup, it would be a great project for someone, I just don’t have the time for as many projects I have, so thinning the heard a little, have clean title 1948 in hand for the jeep, buyer responsible for pickup or shipping,”
