HUGE FC Collection AUCTION Ends 6-25-25 Waverly, IA
Doug Pabst Auction Ends 6-25-25
Andy shared a link to a large Auction that has many FC Vehicles, and some parts.
It’s located in Wavery, IA and ends on 6-25-25.
Dan G. has been helping with the Auctions lately, but I wanted to figure out if it was known the back story of the auction since it has such a large collection, I was not able to find too much but I did make the connection to Doug Pabst and it appears to be his collection. Reading through the obituary the second paragraph seems like he would fit in well with a lot of our community looking to preserve and keep these old rigs and keep them moving forward.
He enjoyed attending antique power shows where he frequently exhibited his antique tractors and gas engines. He attended local shows, shows in surrounding states, and even traveled as far as Pennsylvania for a show. He kept active in the old iron hobby and did not like to see things get scrapped out. Doug especially loved challenging projects considered impossible by most. Doug was outspoken and didn’t hesitate to share his opinions; he also had a soft side appreciated by those who knew and loved him.
Also I worked on this one yesterday quite a bit trying to figure out a format that would work to display these without just being another link through as I feel it’s a very large collection that deserves some time, so that took up my eWillys time for the day and I was not able to post much anything till later on in the evening.
Obituary of Doug Pabst:
John Douglas “Doug” Pabst, 81, of Waverly, Iowa, passed away on September 9, 2024, at his home.
Doug was born on August 6, 1943, north of Waverly, Iowa, the son of Lois Jeanette (Sparenborg) and John D. “Jack” Pabst. Doug grew up on a farm and attended school in Waverly. Following his graduation from Waverly-Shell Rock High School, Doug began his 30-year career as a welder and fabricator for John Deere. After his official retirement, Doug stayed busy with his hobby farm, garden tilling, fabricating trailers, and moving houses. He enjoyed many miscellaneous jobs and projects for his friends and neighbors. Doug was united in marriage to Vicki King, and to this union two children were born, Kelly and John D. Pabst, Jr. The couple later divorced.
Doug was a shareholder at Antique Acres. He enjoyed attending antique power shows where he frequently exhibited his antique tractors and gas engines. He attended local shows, shows in surrounding states, and even traveled as far as Pennsylvania for a show. He kept active in the old iron hobby and did not like to see things get scrapped out. Doug especially loved challenging projects considered impossible by most. Doug was outspoken and didn’t hesitate to share his opinions; he also had a soft side appreciated by those who knew and loved him.
