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 .

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.
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.
Moving on to other projects. This is a 2wd vehicle. Engine looks to be a Chevy 327 out of an early Camaro. Runs, but a bit rough. Four-speed manual transmission. Mileage is unknown. Hasn’t been on the street for about 8 years.
The gas tank on this has a couple of small pinhole leaks. Tried to repair it with a gas tank epoxy but it still leaks. Most likely the original tank and needs to be replaced. I’ve dropped the price from $3,500 to $2,500 accordingly.
Fairly decent body, normal rust spots. The firewall has been modified for a different engine. Bought it to make a trailer for a custom Willy’s pickup but I’m wanting to start with a different year body. Bill of sale upon request but no title. Can deliver if local
