It is a project. Has updated engine.
“This is not a ridiculous or heavy project otherwise the word “project” is relative.
If I can get what I am in it so far, I’ll let it go. I did not lose interest in it. In my case, the problem is space otherwise I do not have another project needing this space but the wife wants to be able to park inside. We have a 3 door garage and so much STUFF in it. Happy wife/Happy life.
I am cleaning my garage and that’s why I could not approach it to take better pictures but I am just testing the waters right now and that could be good for a potential buyer to be the first to see it LIVE and hopefully ending up buying it because even though these kind of Jeep projects are overall in demand but with the bad pictures I provided, for now, I bet you it wouldn’t be appealing to many until I put some more and better pictures next week.
I bought this a couple of years ago from the widow of the 68 y/o owner who suddenly died of a heart attack. he was fixing it putting new drums and brakes which are still in the rear cargo area. The Jeep has 52,000 miles on the body but he put an old Chevy motor from the late 50’s in it which could be from a Corvette of those years. The seats are all intact with one little tear but since they are old, I think they should be redone. It has some surface rust and little rusted through only on the driver side floor panel.”

This was on eWillys a couple of years ago and is a 64 model with the 8203 model number, which I think was due to it have one side window on the hardtop. It was out of eastern Washington, not far from Dave. I believe it has a 4 wd drive setup under it.
Here’s the info on this DJ3A hardtop.
8203 24461 Sept. 1964 build date, spotted on eWillys 3-4-2015, titled as a 1965. DJ3A Hardtop, now 4WD for sale on Craigslist 3-4-2015 out of Oregon, but is actually in California, being sold by a widow after her husband died. Has 283 Chevy V8 engine. Only the second one in our database with the 8203 model number. Spoke with the seller. The 8203 model number is significant as most 1964 DJ3As with the hardtop are designated as 8202 models. This Jeep has side windows in the hardtop and that may be the reason for the different model number. The Jeep is actually a bit rough. 3-5-2015
