Dear folks,
Those "cheap jeep" stories that started immediately after WW2 kept up thru the 1980's ! Popular Mechanics had these $44.00 Jeeps advertised. My local hometown newspaper had these advertised. If I drive an olive drab Jeep, I have people all the time ask me if that's one of those"kits" you can get for 44.00. I always say yes. Folks, the govt. sold these Jeeps for $700-800 after the war, after they went thru Hell.
There's only ONE way to end this permanently, and it WILL end it. In fact, we can make the pendulum swing the other direction fairly fast.
Here is the easy way to do it, but we need to do this with the help of about maybe 6 or 8 other Willys owners, the more the better. We need to advertise our Jeeps in all kinds of ways known with no intention of selling them and have them advertised at prices that WE feel are more reflective.
And we need to be consistent for a period of a year or so, or longer. We will see the results, and these results will have a kind of "motivating effect". Shortly after people see this they will say, WOW, those things are taking off. And then we have a whole new start.
It's a lot like bid rigging, only difference is, bid rigging is illegal, what we would do, wouldn't be. If there's a bunch of Willys for sale at high prices, it looks more honest, fairer and legitimate. IT WILL WORK. Folks, let's get to work. ** Note : always better to start HIGH. ** $ 40,000.00 is a good place to start for vehicles that are rerstored, but NOT Concours.
