(06/01/2010) This is a little rough, but looks mostly original to my less-than-perfect eye.

Some cleaning and paint (and a bumper and a headlight) would really help this jeep look good.  This appears to have full floating hubs in the rear as well.

This looks like a solid back consistent with some DJ-3As.  I’m assuming this has been modified with 4wd?

UPDATE: Bill reports that this sold.  He believes the top may still available.

(04/29/2009) This is a very nice Dj-3A and one of only a handful made in 1961 as noted by the seller.

“1961 WILLYS DJ3A DISPATCHER JEEP, Serial Number 56337 20287, I removed the hard top with plans to paint it black and get a black vinyl bikini top made, but as you can see in some of the photos, it had original military OD paint.

• CATEGORIES: DJ-3A • TAGS: , , This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay.

I don’t see too many DJ-3As that still have their tops.  Someone converted this to 4wd.

Here’s a cheaply price DJ-3A, though it’s got a 22r Toyota Motor in it. This was listed for $1000 in February 2010.  I suspect this was bought and is now being resold.

(11/26/2009) The seller would like to trade this jeep as part of a trade for a Cargo Trailer.  This is a no tailgate DJ-3A.  This appears to be a great price.

Hot Dog Vendor Setup for a DJ-3A Surrey Howell, NJ **SOLD**

• CATEGORIES: DJ-3A, Unusual • TAGS: This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay

Bruce spotted this unusual jeep utility addition.  The seller notes they scrapped the jeep, but then says he was just kidding and is keeping the jeep (in other words, jeep is not for sale). Anyway, the hotdog vendor unit is certainly an unusual feature!

“Up for sale is a hot dog cooking insert for a willys jeep. Scrapped the jeep(was a little rusty) but thought the hot dog unit was worth saving. Has lots of places to cook stuff and it fits like a glove. Check out the pics. some modification to the wheel well on the drivers side to accomodate what looks to be a sink.probably could remove this piece so no cutting wheel well.Has all the valves and burners I think never tried it out. could use some nobs for the temp control. from the front of the jeep you can not tell this is in the back, and from the back you can not tell its  a jeep. from the side it looks like it should be there. happy bidding ! Only kidding about scraping the jeep, the jeep does not go with it. pickup in howell nj only. Pay in full and will hold inside as long as needed. this thing would be the hot diggity dog of the trail rides. good luck! Bill”

No year mentioned, but this is definitely a DJ-3A based on the speedometer.  However it has been modified into a 4×4.  It looks like a good price.

1957 DJ-3A Bangor, Pa **SOLD**

• CATEGORIES: DJ-3A • TAGS: This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

UPDATE:  Rich reports that this sold today for $1400 on 4/1/2010.

“Selling a stock 1957 Willys Dispatcher Jeep. Flat head L 4cyl. motor with 3 speed transmission. If you are familiar with the DJ3A you know that it would have been a 2 wheel drive, column shift jeep. This one was converted to four wheel drive with a T-90 transmission and transfer case. The Jeep starts instantly, moves and shifts perfectly through all 3 gears plus the 4 wheel drive high and low operates with no problems. The brakes work 100% however the brake lights and turn signals do not. It will need a windshield, tires, rocker panel repair, and floor repair. The L head motor has the original 6 volt system with a generator that charges as it should. There is a cabin heater under that dash with a variable speed electric fan that works perfectly. The seats are in pristine condition and may actually be original. The original Data plate is on the firewall and the frame numbers match. The odometer reads just over 28,000 miles. I have a clear PA title in hand and have driven the jeep down the road at 45 miles per hour. It does need work but is a great foundation for restoration.
