UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $10,000.
Thanks to Craig for spotting this one. I don’t see the footman loops on the fenders nor the hubcaps. Otherwise looks good to me.

Top, sides, and rear canvas and all hardware is present and in remarkable condition considering the age. Fringes on top are dry rotted from age.

New master cylinder.
$10,000 OBO
Don’t waste my time or yours with low ball offers.”
That one didn’t last long. Seemed like a good deal if it was solid and had not been patched.
Rudy,
Thanks for the update. Yes, that was the nicest Surrey we’ve seen listed at $10k or less in several years. I’m not surprised it sold quickly either!

I’d have bought this for $10K!
This one is currently residing in Florida. I just got off the phone with the man who is going to be restoring it. The selling price was less than what was advertised. Looks to be in very good condition. Serial number is 56337 23277. I will add it to our database of DJ3As, along with the photos. 11-4-2016
Forgot to mention, 15 inch wheel and Surrey hubcaps have been located and purchased already. This will need the windshield straps also.
Thought the wheels were originally 13″. Do you know where in Florida it is. I will be restoring mine soon. It has 13″ wheels.
Mac-
The original wheels on the 63-64 DJ3As were 13 inch, but my understanding was that you could get 15 inchers if you wanted them. A lot of owners found 15 inch wheels and put them on. The tires fill the wheel openings better and give a little more ground clearance.
I will see if I can get the location on the Surrey and the name of the man who is restoring it for you later today.
