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 $7000
This includes a parts FJ (not shown). It runs.
“A non-profit organization is selling a 1961 Jeep Fleetvan Mail Truck and a parts vehicle.
One runs, rebuilt engine just need some brake work.
Other one (not shown) is just for parts.
We are asking 7K Obo.
Very cool vehicle, parts, helps a non-profit, AND born in 1961: win-win-win-WIN! And price seems worth checking out 🙂
Good morning! My name is Julie and my son and I are looking for a van like this to start up our new Snow Cone business. I was wondering if it’s available and if so, do you have any more info about how it runs?
Thank you!
Julie
Julie you must click on the craigslist link and contact the owner.
Julie,
I’d guess that it will take some money to turn that FJ into a snow cone business. Maybe as a non-profit you can negotiate a better price (was probably donated to them).

Dave, Wondering what you think of this FJ-3 from the photos. I am going to try and see it next week if its not buried in snow. In any event I would expect it to need a frame off restoration to be a respectable and dependable daily driver. Guy
Guy,
If it spent its life in Fresno, the vehicle likely has little rust, so from a restoration stand point it could make a good project. I too would think it will need a full restoration to be a dependable driver. The rubber and glass look like they are in good shape. Also, two of these have sold for significant amounts, so I think doing a restoration isn’t a bad investment on these.
I think the 2 high-dollar sales were of heavily modified FJ’s. I am wanting to get and keep an FJ-3 in the original form. Biggest concern is rust to the body and frame. Will post on what I find, if I can get to see it.
