CJ-5 Surrey
Speaking of unique Surreys, Mike wrote the following Comment:
“Back in 1962, One of my dad’s favorite hangouts, Lee’s tavern on Crooks Ave. in Clifton, NJ bought a special order CJ5 with a pink surrey fringe top and matching upholstery. It was the talk of the town. This Jeep was a double twist on the phrase “special order”. It was a first generation Tuxedo Park model with the featured color scheme of white body with red grille and red wheels, along with the surrey top and seat covers which were installed over stock upholstery at the factory. The local legend story at the time was; He had to wait 6 months for delivery.”
So, I spent some time searching for a CJ-5 Surrey picture. I didn’t find any real ones, but I did find one toy: A CJ-5 toy from 1960.

1962 DJ-3A Surrey Maryland $2500
UPDATE: Still Available
(06/07/2011) Glenn is selling his DJ-3A. glenns@tdstelme.net
“1962 Willys DJ3A Surrey, Body,Original Frame with SN# 21501 visible, Surrey Top Bows, Included also is Original DJ3A Front Axle, Rear Axle, and Side Shift T-96 B Transmission I purchased separately and am picking up on way to The Great Willys Picnic, Sunday, June 12. The bad side of the deal is there is NO Title, NO Data Plate, but repros are available (Would Read 56337-21501), and other than a few other misc. parts, what you see is what you get. The original frame is usable, though the front cross member has been replaced with a later unit to accommodate a steering sector which is included. The 4WD Axles included are probably CJ5. According to the folks in Maryland I bought this from, this Surrey was used frequently on a 60’s TV Show called Wonderama broadcast locally in the NYC and Baltimore areas, but I have not confirmed this yet. This was originally a true pink Surrey, built in the first third of 1962 production. A challenging restoration, you’ll be searching for many DJ3A specific parts, but here is a great beginning and only out and about because of this eWillys site along with Dave’s sharp eyes. The price is $2500 CASH, includes delivery to either The Great Willys Picnic or any where between there and my Maine location. Again: Bill of Sale ONLY!!! Email me glenns@tdstelme.net for phone contact and other information.”

1962 DJ-3A Surrey(?) Oahu Airport, HI **SOLD**
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $5000
I wonder if the seller has verification that this was a Hotel DJ.
“It is a 1962 Jeep Willys DJ-3A one of about 2500 made that year. It was originaly a little Island touring truck that the hotels would use to take guest around. Its in good running order, looks ok. It does need a paint job and a little body work. Price is negotiable. I am leaving the Island soon so it needs to sell. attached is a pic of what it could be. right now it is flat black.”
