UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay.
Here’s a DJ-3A in great shape. Note the frame is purple.
“First of all,I must start by saying that this NOT a post office jeep,. In 1955 &1956 Willys put out this vehicle & called it a Jeep Dispatcher / Delivery vehicle ,ideal for use in congested metropolitan areas. To me it’s just a cool little jeep. This jeep had a frame off restoration a couple years back,at that time the original owner changed the transmission from a manual 3 speed synchromesh to a turbo 350 automatic with a 6 volt system.The original transmission is included,every nut &bolt was saved just incase to switch it back. The jeep is in great shape & runs good. Just had it inspected in may 2013,Ican’t think of anything it needs,besides maybe a tune up. $500.”
I remember seeing this on eBay about 1 or 2 years ago.
I had thought I had also seen that before, but didn’t have time to check. I don’t remember the purple frame though.
Seen @ Willys Picnic last year.
Yeah, I saw photos of it from the Willys Picnic last year and also in a couple of other places, just can’t remember where!! Its probably one of the nicest DJ3A hardtops around!
Is this DJ still for sale?
Don,
I haven’t seen it relisted. I don’t know if the auction went through or not. If I see it reappear, I’ll drop you an email.
