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.
There are plenty of interesting, unusual, historic and surprising stories related to Jeeps and their owners. In addition, some of these features have nothing to do with jeeps. This link will display all featured stories starting from the latest.
Looking for parts and not sure where to go? There are a variety of large and small new and used parts sellers both online and offline.
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 .

1950’s Topeka Hiway Mower
$4,000 Mears, MI
This is really cool! There are a bunch Dave posted in the past. I need to fix the picture links at some point, if you click on them they will open. Seller references eWillys for search, that’s pretty cool. One of my main reasons for pushing this forward!
eWillys Search Topeka Hiway Mower
INFORMATION FROM SELLER:
Collectors item tractor, SMV, no licenses necessary – search eWillys.
Oceana county road commission used it on 31. Mower is missing. Ran fine when parked 25 or so years ago, oil is clean needs carb rebuild, seats and harness. All parts are readily accessible. Top speed around 30mph. Total work horse, Joe DiMaggio lived his, used it as his plow tractor. Most of these have the Hercules engine – this has the Red Seal flat top four. increasing its value. Use it for anywhere everywhere, dualies all the way around with big paddle tires and you’ll just own the dunes or for your kids to pick up chicken at the chicken shack.
Zoom in on the drivers side pictures – you’ll see that the fenders are so heavy that my dad mounted a vice on it. Also you can get the general condition of the springs and suspension.

| 1963 Coot 4×4 OBO Vancouver, WA |
| Probably not a 1963 but what do I know, from what I found 1967 was the bulk of the build out of the COOT and 1968, but I don’t know a ton past doing a large newspaper lift on them over the past few days, They are pretty neat rigs. Kinda a big rabbit hole for me but it was fun researching these and no one had them clipped so it should be some new to you stuff coming up.
Not sure what this one is with the side bars on the side, another of let me know what you think. Full spread to follow this post. Dave posted one back in 2020, much nicer looking, https://www.ewillys.com/?s=COOT |
| INFORMATION FROM SELLER: |
| No history , was on some property we purchased. This is value as parts . Come look and make me an offer. Have boats and trailers also |

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.
