FJ out of Fresno CA **SOLD**

• CATEGORIES: FJ This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was listed at $2800

A reader contacted me after investigating this FJ.  Supposedly this is all fixed up, runs great, and looks beautiful.  The only things missing are the VIN, the pink slip and the title.   Eventually, after the reader noted that, the seller offered to halve the price.

Does anyone recognize this vehicle?  Could it be a little hot?  Or, maybe the seller was just desperate to sell it.

BTW, if anyone knows of any FJs in California, let me know.  I have a potential buyer.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay.

Glenn forwarded this.  I think a piece of the glass is good .. lol.

“Absolute sale NO RESERVE! No extra fees. I have most of a 1963 Jeep FJ-3 Fleetvan. Although missing the back it is a rare vehicle perfect for a parts vehicle. It is a parts vehicle. There is no title or registration to this. The vin plate is still attached to the Van with a dry cheap white paint coating it. I used my finger nail to expose the numbers. The steering, suspension and brakes for the front appear to be all there. The motor and transmission are there but I am not sure of their condition. The back of this Fleetvan is missing. The Postal Code is P.O.D-6-2-8208 and the manufacture Vin Code is 14955. The Jeep FJ-3 Fleetvan was a compact delivery van manufactured by Willys Motors and Kaiser-Jeep from 1961 to 1965. This FJ-3 is equipped with the F-134 Hurricane engine that is a 4 cylinder F-Head. Borg-Warner Automatic it looks like. The FJ-3 is only 135 inches long and is rated for 1000 pound payload. If you know of somebody that has one of these, PLEASE let them know so they can have a chance to get a parts Van. I’m sure they will appreciate that. Sold As is with no waranty or returns of course. I have jacks and stands to help load this up.”

Willys Overland Panel Delivery Van (Going to Jesse’s)

• CATEGORIES: Advertising & Brochures, Features, Fire/Police/Industry Vehicles, FJ • TAGS: This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

UPDATE II:  See the latest — The Van is headed West.

From August, 2011:  Glenn recognized the Willys Van for sale.  Even more impressive, he found a brochure for one!  Well done! He bought the Sales Folder off eBay about a year and a half ago. Mfg. by Plaza Motors, Inc. Englewood, NJ and was Willys-Overland Factory Approved.

Based on the emails between Colin and Glenn, there were at least three groups of Willys-Overland Delivery Trucks produced:

1) One group was produced during or just prior to WWII (as seen below)

Here is a 1942 Panel Delivery Truck:

2) One group was produced during post WWII and pre 1950, which appears to include the Willys Van owned by Mike. The brochure provided by Glenn also appears to be related to this second group.

3) One group was produced between 1951 and 1953, based on these serial numbers.

The numbers below are for post 1950 FJs. This one appears to be a pre-1950 FJ. We are still awaiting a serial number.
1951 FJ 451 GC1 10001— none
1953 FJ 452 GC2 10001—10065 65 built
1954 FJ454 GC2 10001—10012 12 built

2 Fleet Vans Windsor, Pa **SOLD**

• CATEGORIES: FJ This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

UPDATE:  Was $3500. SOLD

“Up for sale is a Jeep postal Fleetvan and included is a parts car. This Fleetvan is from California and is virtually rust free. The F head 4 cyl engine starts easily and runs smoothly. The automatic transmission shifts properly. It is not drivable due to no functioning brakes. The previous owner removed the glass and some trim to do a re-paint and then did not follow through. The grille has since been reinstalled. I have most of the glass, however some is broken. Otherwise, this Fleetvan is approx 90% complete. There is however a parts car included that has the items that may be missing. The parts car is a “cut in half” unit that is a complete forward unit. Also included that is not pictured is a rear dorr assy and rear bumper. This would be a fairly easy restoration of a hard to find Jeep. Both vehicles are being sold on a bill of sale because there are no titles. They are located in Windsor,Pa which is close to York,Pa.”
