Year? DJ-3A Homer City, PA **SOLD**

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

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay.

This is listed as a 1949 CJ-2A, but this appears to be a DJ-3A (note the dash and the front bumper for starters).  The VIN number is particularly strange, as it looks like it has two different type of numbers.  Note how the 2nd set of numbers is very light and of a different font than the first set of numbers.  Something seems amiss to me.

Here’s a pic of the VIN Plate.

This appears to have a CJ-2A body.  The paint job is certainly unusual; I would like to have seen this when it was fresh.

1960 DJ-3A Pennsylvania **SOLD**

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

UPDATE:  This now lives on the East Coast. I got to examine it up close at the 2013 Bantam Festival. The work is excellent. It was bought for $9000. It has more of a surrey look to it now.

I used the IMCDb.org site to attempt to locate an image of the jeep to the right from a shot in the movies.  You can see a DJ-3A from Blue Hawaii (not a very good shot). Or the same shot enhanced and cropped to the left.  Here’s a link to a shot of the Nutty Professor’s DJ-3A.

This flat fender (the one on the right) falls into the ‘unusual jeep’ category.  Apparently, it’s a movie star!

“ALL METAL AND 1,885 POUNDS.

1947 CJ-2A/DJ-3A Body Napa County, CA **SOLD**

• CATEGORIES: CJ-2A, DJ-3A This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1300

(05/25/2010) The body appears in good condition, but hard to tell from this far away pic.

“I have a 1947 CJ-2A with a later DJ style body on it. It has the L-134 flathead motor, along with an upgraded Solex carb that many people swapped on to these engines. Has new carb rebuild kit, new spark plugs, new points, new electric fuel pump, new fuel lines, and about 80% left on some 31″ mud terrains. The bad news is a blown head gasket, however if you’ve ever seen one of these engines, it is probably the easiest thing to replace on a Willy’s, and despite this it will still drive around town, just not very far down the highway. It has some dents and dings, but verry little bad rust anywhere. Great for around the ranch or around town.”

1957 DJ-3A Tucson, AZ **SOLD**

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

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1600.

“This is a DJ3A jeep that’s had the CJ2A 4X4 Drive train installed. Original 4-134 flathead runs great, T90 3 spd trans and D18 2 spd transfer appear to be good. I drained and replaced the oil and it was Not milky (no water). I took the original (rare) DJ hard top off to use it for hunting, I still have it and it goes with the Jeep. Replaced the rubber brake lines and flush the brake system so it has brakes again. Original 16″ wheels with the spare. It is currently licenced but need the taillights fixed (wires) to be street legal. It’s a cool Jeep, just don’t have the time or money to do it justice (and space).”

Bruce Finds Some More Las Brisas Surreys

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

Bruce forwarded me these unusual and rare posts cards of some unusual Surreys (here’s a compilation of Surrey & DJ info). Bruce has attempted to contact the Las Brisas Manager to learn if they have a historian of sorts for their jeeps in use, but he hasn’t had any luck. If anyone has any Las Brisas connections, please let me know!  Thanks for sharing Bruce.

Check out the guy driving the jeep, a stick no less, carrying a tray of food!

Brian writes, “These 2 jeeps offer clues but also leaves one with more questions. The extended tub, tailgate, baby moon hubcaps, valance panels, and an absence of chrome bumpers.  Also, there was no date stamp on the card, but it looks to be from the late/early 50-60s.

On the back of the postcard, written in both English and Spanish, it reads Room service by jeeps- unique at hotel Las Brisas in Acapulco where every room a has it’s own pool.”

UPDATE:  Was $5000.

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

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

(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.

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