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. This section used to be split into jeeps, parts and other categories, but recent changes to eBay will require this information to be recoded.
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 .
Ron shared a link to the restoration of his FJ-3A, currently undertaken by Corbetts Auto Restoration and Customs in Cherryville, North Carolina.
The FJ was sold back in October of 2013 (http://www.ewillys.com/2013/10/21/1963-fj-3a-fleet-van-auburn-mi-1200/) and looked like this:
Now, as you can see below and from the photos on Facebook, the rebuilding is just beginning.
Corbett’s Auto Restoration & Customs and Ron’s torn down FJ-3A
UPDATE: Scott reports that this is up for sale. Best offer over $3500 gets it.
“This is now for sale again. relocation forces sale. I have this and 2 Divco Milktrucks for sale and which ever sells first goes and the left over goes with me to restore. Thanks for your consideration. Email me or call or text 931-787-9000.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $13,750.
“1960 Willys FJ-3 4 cylinder 138 cubic inch “Hurricane,” partnered with a Borg Warner T90 automatic transmission. This Willys Jeep FJ-3 Fleetvan had a full rebuild 5 years ago. All exterior panels that rusted thru were removed and replaced with stainless steel, prior to a full paint job. All the interior panels were removed, sand blasted, sealed, painted, and reassembled. After the body was finished, work started on the machine itself. It has rebuilt brake and master cylinders. The brake shoes and emergency brake cable were replaced. It also had new tail lights, signals, signal lever, and new wiring to them. Since I have owned it there are new plugs, wires, points, condenser, Optima RedTop battery etc… new OEM carb and valves have been adjusted. All fluids have been flushed and refilled. This Willys Jeep fleetvan is ready to go.
All Original manuals come with it.
As you can see from the pictures our goal was to use the FJ-3 as a moving billboard for our business.
We made modifications to the interior and back door opening. These modifications were made to allow our Italian Ice cart to fit into the jeep. We have installed a false floor in the FJ-3 with an electric winch and wireless remote. We still have the mesh cage that goes behind the driver and all the parts for the back door. The paint colors, which we think were rolled on, are Flat Green and Flat White. The logos are all wrapped, which means they are not painted on, and can easily be removed.
We are selling the FJ-3 because after loading 1,000 pounds of Italian Ice and our Italian Ice cart onto the jeep it becomes very top heavy.
This Fleetvan was used for 2 Seasons on CBS Show “Vegas”.
There are only a number of FJ-3 Fleetvan’s left, and there are even fewer out there in this good of a condition.
So, we have put it up for sale and the asking price is $13,750. We are located in the Northampton, Pa. 18067
Original mileage is 46,988, speedometer……….”
UPDATE: I’m told this sold. This was listed at $1200.

Ted’s got a few FJ items for sale:
1) 1962 FJ-3A Booklet
“Up for auction is a very nice, original Willys Motors Chassis and Body Parts list for the Jeep FJ 3A Fleet van. This is NOT A REPRODUCTION. It has a copyright of 1962 and form number of W1141. I’m guessing it’s a first edition as it is not marked otherwise. The list has complete Willys original part numbers for every part covered, making this a very essential piece of Willys literature to anyone restoring or doing a project on one of the rarer Jeep models, the FJ3A Fleetvan.
Overall the condition is very good to excellent. The outer covers show the usual wear of something 50+ years old, with no major damage. The inner pages are all intact, with no staining or damage, and I would consider them to be in excellent condition.”
