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 .

“This Jeep would be such a fun restoration, I bought it just over a year ago to do so but have to relocate for my job and the van can’t go with me:(
The information I have researched on this Jeep is to the best of my knowledge, and not guaranteed.
This is a 1965 Kaiser/ Jeep FJ-3 Fleet van (compact van)
manufactured by Willys motors & Kaiser Jeep
assembled in Toledo, Ohio
I believe the motor is the original F4-134 hurricane engine
odometer reads 52,474
the motor turns over but does not run right
this vehicle needs a full over haul from what I know it has been sitting for many years, I was told it was originally a mail van. ”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Now in Colorado.
Guy shared a video of someone who build a FJ-3A model using what you see below.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was priced at $13,500 in December.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay.
This runs and drives.
“This is an extremely rare, 1961 Jeep Willy FJ-3. It served as a postal truck in Nashville area and has found its way to Florida. We originally have plans to turn him into an Ice Cream truck, and stumbled upon him while looking for an old Divco, but decided to wait. Our procrastination is your gain. We named him Willy and he would make a terrific promotional vehicle, mini-gourmet food truck, Hot Rod or just a very unique addition to your collection.
The beauty of Willy is how much attention he gets when driving him. I have been around many cool vehicles and Willy gets more attention than anything I have seen. They were only in production from 1961-1965, so he is VERY rare and due to his small size he has the puppy factor. As you can see in the pictures he is the same size as my Jeep Wrangler. This is why he would make the perfect promotional vehicle if you chose not to keep him an brag about him at car shows.
The Jeep FJ-3 Fleetvan was manufactured by Willys Motor and Kaiser-Jeep. This little truck was used to deliver mail (yes you drive on the right side) and later was upgraded to Hot Rod…yes a Hot Rod. Willy has had its original F-134 Hurricane engine with a much easier to maintain Chevy 350, with a rebuilt automatic transmission. Good tires and hard to find Cragar Rims.
Because of its age and uniqueness, it’s the perfect vintage vehicle, The odometer is not working, but Willy has had almost everything mechanical replaced with easy to service parts and it has not been driven except locally. New leaf springs, new tires, new gas gauge, new wiring, Cragar Rims and all the glass is in place . All lights work and he is ready to hit the road.
Dimensions: 135 inches long, 64.7 inches wide and 90.1 inches high.
Potential buyers are welcome to come look at Willy in Tampa, Florida. If you are from a long distance away, you are of course welcome to have someone in this area look at it, or have a mechanic of your choice come by and do so. Just give me a call or email, or if you have any questions, feel free to ask. This vehicle is sold as is and is in vintage but running condition. Buyer is responsible for picking it up in Hillsborough County, FL or can have a car transporter come and pick him up. I am posting a video and pictures to give you an idea of how cool Willy looks and how well he runs.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1500
Dun-Rite Plumbing? Why would someone want to project competency through their business name, yet spell it incorrectly? It just doesn’t seem done right. The seller notes the van wasn’t done right, either.
“1964 Jeep CJ3a Fleetvan; imagine a 7 ft. tall WW2 Jeep. Originally from California, superficial rust only.. I bought it with no engine but installed a 1991 2.5 liter Jeep engine with an AX5 transmission and transfer case. If desired you can swap the front axle and make it 4WD.
NEW wheel brake cylinders, new brake hoses, new brake lines. The rear end was converted to Discs in the 1970s, pads are good and the rotors were turned. Front drums were turnd before new shoes were installed.
The 1964 one cylinder brake master was swapped out for a newer two chamber from a Toyota Tacoma. Mechanical clutch was replaced with a new Wildwood hydraulic master; the clutch on the 2.5 engine is only a year old.
One of the corner windows is cracked, but readily available from the Glass Dr. et al, it’s flat glass. The gas tank is shiney inside. A late model speedo and gages are included, I have the original 6V unit.
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was in person auction.

UPDATE: **SOLD** This doesn’t run, but looks solid.
“The “Forgotten Jeep.” The FJ-3 was a compact delivery van manufactured by Willys Motors and Kaiser-Jeep from 1961 to 1965. This has the Borg-Warner 3 speed automatic transmission, which probably needs work, but can be used again. The motor is bad. This does not run at this time. My husband has been storing it for several years since purchasing it in California. He hasn’t had time to work on this, so it is looking for a new home. We have most of the parts that came with it, except for maybe a light lens. We also have the front bumper and wipers, but they are not shown in the photos. This will need to be hauled on a trailer. This could be a great restoration project.”
