Year? DJ-3A Durango, CO Sold

UPDATE II: **Sold** was $9000

(06/25/2019) This seems to me to be a later model DJ-3A (has the passenger side vent), but not a Surrey. Overall, it does seem to be in good shape.

"Red, White & Blue All American Willy's Jeep

Titled as a 1952 M38 but outfitted as one of the Galas, two-wheel drive, all new undercarriage, including rear differential, 3-speed manual transmission with overdrive. All new clutch, front axle, shocks, springs, tires and wheels. Original engine, runs great. New radiator, hoses, etc. Newer upholstery on seats.

$17,000 invested and appraised between $15,000 and $25,000
Fun! Very unique, great for parades/special events or just delighting the neighborhood.
$10,000 and can be delivered anywhere for the cost of travel"

Give it a new paint job, better chance of selling.

Is it just me, or has anybody noticed, these DJ3A's are a "HARD SELL" not meant to be a negative comment in any way, just the reality of the situation.

  Mike, I think that's a very true statement. Unless it is a Surrey, these jeeps don't command much money. They are arguably the cheapest model of jeep Willys made, almost as disposable as the WWII jeeps. I like Patterson for the novelty of it (and because it literally followed us to Alaska), but I'd never recommend someone invest in a DJ-3A for investment value. They are just a peculiar little vehicle about which people know little, so there's little demand. - Dave
