UPDATE: Status Unknown. Was $24,500.

This refurbished surrey doesn’t have all the original surrey-like trimmings, but it does have several Surrey indicators, such as the dry type air filter and the footman loops on the fenders.

“1959 Willy’s DJ3A Surrey/Gala, VIN# – 5633716515, Mileage – 14,680. My guess is that this is the lowest mileage Surrey/Gala in existence. The original owner ordered this Willy’s new directly from the factory. After a long ownership, he passed away and his widow sold the Surrey to her dear friend. It appears that this sale occurred in 1997.

Soon after, The 2nd owner had a cosmetic restoration done to the vehicle including new blue paint and what I believe was an aftermarket seat and top kit sold back then by JC Witney. I still have this top. I first saw this auto online and became very interested after confirming that it was a Surrey/Gala. I purchased it sight unseen, had it shipped to me, and started on its mechanical restoration. I have now owned it for almost 4 years, driving her a couple times a week and,of course, keeping it garaged.

I am very fortunate to live near a vintage Willy’s/Jeep technician that knows and loves these vehicles. The following was done. New leaf springs. New shocks. New wheel bearings. Brakes rebuilt including lines. Transmission flush and service. Drivetrain service. Clutch total rebuild. Engine flushed and tuned. Rebuilt water pump. Rebuilt fuel system. Rebuilt carburetor. New NOS wiring harness. New exhaust system. New battery and cables. New Coker tires. Powder coated seat frames (satin black). Recovered seats. Bumpers (not correct) polished. New mini soft top. Many additional minor items.

Summary: This Surrey was garage kept all its life and driven very little. The vehicle was originally Jade Tint Green (color visible under new paint) The vehicle is very original and very complete. It comes with a full Surrey top frame, 4 original hub caps and 4 spares (all correct), the old top with windshield straps, jack w/handle and bag. I also have a significant amount of historical documentation and personal research items for your review.”
