The seller wants $59 for this, which seems a bit crazy, but the reason these photos caught my eye is that they show DJ-3A Galas crossing entering (crossing?) the water. Unclear whether this was for fun, for experience or a purpose. It may be some kind of beach-based road that floods at high tide? No description provided.

“Runs, drives, stops, plows(kinda). Needs battery. Frame is very solid. Body isnt in very good condition but not horrible and floor is decently solid. Had 290 v8 put in at one point and i have no idea the mileage. It leaks coolant from the radiator cap and hydraulic fluid from one of the plow hoses but you can just take the plow off cause it’s not very useful. I just put a new fuel pump in it. It’s a 3 speed manual that shifts into all gears easily. It’s old as hell so it’s obviously not perfect. I was told that most its life it was just a farm truck. I got it as a project but i have too many going on and need to clear some vehicles off the property. I have the title from the previous owner and bill of sale. Would like it gone sooner rather than later so shoot me an offer. (i have the door for the back but it’s missing a hinge so i took it off)”
1956 DJ-3A Greenville, SC $7500
Here’s a pretty complete convertible, though no indication of a top and the top side bits are missing. Given the KS 0-8 speedo, I’d say this is a pretty early one. It’s missing the filler in the back; maybe it no longer has the rear tank?

“1956 Willys DJ3A “The Dispatcher” Slated as a light delivery vehicle this is the first year for this model of Willys. The production number stamped in the frame is 1183 (see pics). This was my dads first vehicle and has been in the family since 1961. As far as I know we were the second owner. I have the original title. It’s a project. I have almost all of the original parts. What is missing is the motor, radiator, and seats. I have three of the original hubcaps. I have two tires on it that do hold air. The floor pans are rusted out. Last time it was on the road was 1973. It does have a factory heater. If you know the DJ’s then you know it is factory 2wd. I also have the doors. This is very difficult to post as I have a long history with this vehicle. Circumstances in life change and sometimes you have to let go of dreams. Ask any questions you want. I have more pics somewhere I will add later.”

Thanks to John for spotting this altered Surrey, changed to 4WD with an extra long nose. Despite the changes, there seems to be some value here.

Some Jeep Slides on eBay
Here are some slides with jeeps currently for sale on eBay. The first one is an unusual tour jeep that I hadn’t seen previously. It’s somewhere at least semi-tropical, based on the upper right tree.
1. Here’s an FC-170 setup as a tour jeep. It appears to include a bed-extension on the back.
2. This slide shows a yellow CJ-5 and a ticket office at Harney Peak Black Hills SD:
3. This next two slides share images from 1962 of a Maine Forest Service MB. This is slide one:
4. This is slide two:
5. And, finally, this slide shows a rare yellow DJ-3A used by the Sault Ste. Marie Chamber of Commerce. I don’t have many vintage photos showing a DJ-3A in the original yellow color (though they do appear on several brochures).

1957 DJ-3A Desert Hot Springs, CA $1600
Seller wants it gone. If truly a 1957, then it is a standard DJ-3A, as the Gala/Surrey weren’t introduced until 1959.

“Dropping the price! Want it gone, have to pick up another car and need room on my trailer. Correction 1957 Jeep dj3a.(gala )(surrey) (Not 1946 Jeep cj2). Update 10/28/23 dmv paperwork is being processed and new vin being issued. Just waiting for verification by chp. Model is dj3a and 1957 year of production.

Good project for rat rod, hot rod, restoration or something unique. What you see is what you get. Has a 327 chevy motor but I don’t know if it runs. My uncle had it for several years before he passed away. Selling only no trades. Selling with Bill of sale.$1600 obo. This jeep is 2wd.”
1965 DJ-3A? Hastings, MN $3250
Unclear how much value is here, but this may be a modified 1965 DJ-3A. The rear tank, grille, and lack of WILLYS on the hood are a few clues.

“1956 Willys DJ3A Dispatcher. Rare 2WD with column shift. New brake system (master cylinder, wheel cylinders, shoes, lines, hoses and emergency brake cable), new wiring harness and new tires. This is a true survivor with only 4 small areas that are rusted through (driver side foot board, panel above passenger foot board, cargo floor behind seats and panel next to tailgate on driver side). It runs great and could easily be restored if desired.”
