This looks to be a late model 1956 DJ-3A convertible. Body might be in decent shape. Windshield probably toast. In this case rare doesn’t equal valuable.

Jordan spotted this later model DJ-3A that’s been mistakenly listed as a 1945.

“Runs great and drives need restoration 4200 or best offer takes it”

This was a convertible DJ-3A. There might be some useful parts left, as few of which are unique to the DJ-3A.

“This is a 1956 Willys Jeep with an in-line 4 cylinder. It has been converted into a hunting Jeep. I have replaced the carborator. Master cylinder, ignition switch, battery and oil. The Jeep runs great, the 4×4 works well. It has a shooting chair for the back and you can see it in the pictures.”

UPDATE: Still Available.

(09/07/2019) This jeep is listed as a Surrey, but I see no evidence of it being a Surrey. Being this late of model, it should have the heater intake vent on the passenger side. But, it seems to lack that.

There’s some value here (hubs, rims, p-brake and possibly others).  The body is a later model DJ-3a body with the side vent.
