1956 DJ3A needs a new home

[Druolp61]

Hi everyone,
New member here!
I have a 1956 DJ3A I have owned for 40+ years. Early on when i was in my early 20's, it was my daily driver, but for most of that time it has sat in a barn in Maine.
In 2017 I brought it home to Connecticut with the intentions of "restoring" it to a weekend driver. While some work was done, more needs to be done and sadly I have lost the desire to continue the job. I'm looking for someone to pick up where I left off!
If interested, please reach out and I'll fill you in with all the details, plenty more photos too.
Thanks everyone!

Welcome to the Forum. Sorry to hear it's time to move on.

Good luck on the sale

 

[Druolp61]

Thank you both!

Great looking ride ! Good luck

Did you end up selling this?

 

[Druolp61]

I have not. Still available!

 

[zmattmanz]

I can't believe you haven't sold that. You have some VERY original parts on there/that's a very complete DJ. Let me know if there's any spares of anything for sale.

 

[Druolp61]

Nothing at the moment, but I'll definitely keep you in mind. Thanks for the positive feedback!

That air cleaner is about the hardest thing to find on that Jeep. I found one maybe a couple of months ago--scooped up for easily $200 on ebay.

Wow, I wish I had a couple extra!

She's kind of a peach....someone should gobble up that June Bug.

It's really adorable and in great shape. If I didn't already own my hunk of junk I'd grab it.

 

[Druolp61]

I appreciate that. I am wide open to offers!

 

[cptlogger]

Price?

$5.

JK. But it is an offer

 

[Druolp61]

Haha, thanks! I was thinking $5k.
Seats reapholstered, 5 new tires (zero miles), new wiring harness (needs to be installed), new water pump, plugs, wires, gas tank removed, blasted, re-painted, re-installed, runs well. Rear brakes new, new front bumper. No top or frame. Umm, thats all I can think of at the moment!

 

[cptlogger]

Well, that wasn't so hard was it?

 

[Druolp61]

I was having separation anxiety. Thanks for the push! Haha

That’s a beauty! Wish I had room in my stable.
