1962 Willys FJ-3

"Willy" as he's known, is a 1962 Jeep Fleetvan built for the postal service by Willys up in Toledo, OH. They only built 100 of these trucks so this is one of literally a handful that are still out there. Not only that but this one has been built from the ground up with a small block 350 engine mated to a turbo 350 tranny and a camaro rear end. Starts right up and runs like a champ with plenty of power for this little mail truck. Could actually be a daily driver if you don't mind that there aren't many creature comforts. The patina on the truck is next to perfect i think. it's 99% surface rust which is great because it has almost endless character without the rust going through the sheetmetal. The body is very straight and original with the original post office and civil defense signage! I like the original look but could also see a business using this as a promo vehicle since it could be professionally painted fairly easily. The front glass has a crack running down the center and the corner front glass has small cracks on the narrow points but none effect drivability. Tail lights and turn signals work but brake lights don't meaning when brakes are applied the lights that are already on don't get brighter. Headlights work low and high beam. Horn works, original wipers work. Speedo, Odo, and fuel gauge don't work but the oil pressure and water temp are new and work great. Other than that this thing is ready to run down the interstate and win awards at car shows. Everyone will say 'i've never seen one of those before' just like i did. I've been around old cars for quite some time and have never seen anything this unique. Literally this is the only one like this in the world! Also comes with a real vintage mail carrier canvas bag! Thanks! Serious inquiries only please!! This is literally a one of a kind vehicle
