Oddball utility vehicles have always been part of Jeep and Willys history, but few are as uncommon—or as instantly recognizable—as the Willys Fleetvan. This 1961 Jeep Willys FJ-3, currently listed on Facebook Marketplace in Canton, Ohio, is one of those vehicles that rarely comes up for sale, especially with a clean title and largely intact structure. Thanks for the tip, Ted!

The seller describes this example as a rare find, and that’s not hyperbole. The FJ-3 Fleetvan was designed as a forward-control delivery vehicle, intended for urban service work rather than recreational driving. Because of that, most lived hard lives and disappeared decades ago. Survivors today tend to be either heavily modified or in very rough condition, which makes any reasonably complete example noteworthy.

This Fleetvan is powered by the familiar F134 Hurricane four-cylinder, an engine known more for durability than speed. In this case, the seller notes that the engine is not currently running and will need mechanical attention. It’s described as tired, but complete, and paired with a manual three-speed transmission that reportedly still shifts smoothly. For Willys enthusiasts, this is a well-understood drivetrain, and parts support remains surprisingly good for vehicles of this era.

The body is described as solid overall, with only minor rust and no major structural concerns mentioned. That’s a key detail, especially for a vehicle that spent its early life as a commercial tool. The exterior is listed as white, shown as two tone with a teal scheme, and the vehicle retains a clean title, which is not always a given with low-production utility models like this.

Mileage is listed as 12,345 miles, though with vehicles like this, that figure should be viewed as a reference rather than a definitive history – with pictures showing an odometer with different mileage, so you be the judge. What matters more is that the Fleetvan appears largely unmodified and hasn’t been turned into a street rod, off-road rig, or advertising prop—at least not according to the seller’s description.

The seller is upfront about the Fleetvan’s current status: it is not roadworthy, and it will need mechanical work before it can be driven. Still, they note that anyone familiar with Willys engines should find the revival process straightforward. There are no claims of restoration or recent mechanical refurbishment, making this an honest project offered as-is.

Priced at $29,500, this Fleetvan is clearly aimed at collectors and enthusiasts who understand how rare these vehicles are and what they represent. It’s not a casual project, but it is a chance to own a truly unusual piece of Jeep and Willys history—one that stands out even in a field of classic utility vehicles.

If you’ve always wanted something different from the usual flatfender or Wagoneer, would you bring this Fleetvan back to stock—or preserve it exactly as it sits?
