About eWillys
Welcome to eWillys.com, a website for vintage jeep enthusiasts. I update this website nearly every day with jeep deals, jeep history, interesting reader projects, jeep related info, and more.
These quick searches can help you find things on eBay. People list in the wrong categories all the time, so don't be surprised to see brochures in the parts area for example. This section used to be split into jeeps, parts and other categories, but recent changes to eBay will require this information to be recoded.
The links to posts below show jeeps grouped by models, condition, and other ways. Some of these jeeps are for sale and others have been sold. If you are unsure whether a vehicle is still for sale or not, email me at d [at] ewillys.com for more info.
Importantly, the allure of buying a project jeep can be romantic. The reality of restoring a jeep can be quite different, expensive and overwhelming without the right tools and resources. So, tread carefully when purchasing a "project". If you have any concerns about buying a vintage jeep, or run across a scam, feel free to contact me for help, comments or concerns .

This covers over 14 years of research on the Farm Jeep. Barry has always been very helpful to me with eWillys and I appreciate what he has shared with me since I have been on the controls. His history with eWillys is very extensive and he has completed several other projects related to sharing the history of WIllys, Jeeps, and of course Farm Jeeps. Please check out his latest work and if you have any feedback please let him know. Please join me in thanking him for what he has contributed to preserving the Farm Jeep history.
INFORMATION ABOUT THE BOOK:
This is a living e-book — built from fourteen years of research, field notes, and original documents about the Farm Jeep.
It tells the forgotten story of the engineers, entrepreneurs, and corporate giants who turned a military scout car into a working farm machine.
The story spans from the muddy fields of 1900 to the 1970 model year — when the Jeep quietly stopped being a tractor and became a toy.

From eWillys archive…..
Found this today Based on the USDA Testing in 1942.
This is a test ad….. The full Auto Ads are hard to manage, but we capture almost no ads from mobile, so looking into some other options like putting this in a post this way and then every 5 posts have something served up.
Here is a series of clippings on the COOT 4X4, its a really interesting vehicle, that was built in the 1960’s they made quite a few of these, they seem pretty capable for what they are, with a 12HP Air Cooled Engine, they had a super climbing ability at 75% grade, that had to seem pretty sketchy at the time. Not the best in the water but on a calm crossing they appear to be able to get the job done, but something with a little bit of wake and it would be pretty dangerous to cross something like that I would think.
Overall there was a single positing Dave did back in 2020 that I ran across, then there was one this weekend I found.
Due to the work this took, I wont have a ton of posts, these eat up the eWillys time I have set aside, so not a Jeep or a Willys, but I was fascinated by them, they seemed to be a neat part of the 4×4 story that could use a small lift to record some of the information.
Here are some COOT Ads from the late 1960’s, mainly it looks like they were launched in 1967 and had built out 1000 of them by 1968. The factory was in CHICO, CA.
Spring is here and a lot of us are getting our projects out and about.
There are so many great Willys / Jeep vendors that support our community I would like to share a few to put them back at the top of the list.
