UPDATE: Very stock late model DJ-3A. It’s missing the gas tank inlet in some of the pics. The August 2017 auction ended at a high bid of $3300. 

“THIS RARE 1964 WILLYS DJ-3A DISPATCHER JEEP IS PART OF A LARGE COLLECTION OF ORIGINAL WILLYS JEEPS THAT HAVE BEEN IN STORAGE FOR THE PAST 40 YEARS, AND JUST NOW BEING OFFERED FOR SALE.

THE WILLYS DISPATCHER WAS MANUFACTURED BETWEEN 1955 AND 1965…ONLY 13,600 UNITS WERE PRODUCED OVER THE TEN YEAR PRODUCTION, AND MOST OF THOSE HAVEN’T SURVIVED….SEVERAL MODELS OF THE DJ-3A WERE OFFERED, THIS RARE ENCLOSED MODEL BEING ONE OF THEM. THESE HARD TOP VERSIONS WERE USED PRIMARILY FOR BUSINESSES AS DELIVERY VEHICLES, AND ALSO WERE UTILIZED BY THE US POSTAL SERVICE.

THIS PARTICULAR JEEP WAS NOT A POSTAL JEEP, HOWEVER. THIS IS AN EXCELLENT ALL ORIGINAL RARE EXAMPLE, WHICH STILL HAS ITS ORIGINAL FACTORY PAINT, ORIGINAL SEATS AND SEAT COVERS, AND ALL BODY AND MECHANICAL PARTS . THIS JEEP HAS THE POPULAR 134.2 CUBIC INCH 4 CYLINDER L HEAD ENGINE, AND MANUAL 3 SPEED COLUMN SHIIFT TRANSMISSION.

IT ALSO HAS THE OPTIONAL HEAVY DUTY HEATER AND WINDSHIELD DEFROSTER…..GREAT FOR THOSE COLD WINTER MONTHS…… IT HAS NO BODY DAMAGE ANYWHERE.…. NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE TO THIS JEEP. IT IS STILL AS IT WAS WHEN DELIVERED FROM THE FACTORY……IT HAS BEEN WELL MAINTAINED …. IT STARTS AND RUNS GREAT, HAS ONLY 20420 MILES ON THE ODOMETER.”
