HUGE FC Collection AUCTION Ends 6-25-25 Waverly, IA

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.

May welcomed to Dan G. who is providing some Author assistance and posts.

Andy has of course provided some great links and post material.

Barry checked in as well from The Spring Reunion.

Mike has provided some great history of some of the NJ postings which was neat to read.

I appreciate all the help and support.

1955 Willys CJ3B $18,000 Rigby, ID

• CATEGORIES: CJ-3B, Uncategorized This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

1955 Willys CJ3B $18,000 Rigby, ID

Not much description, but if everything is new and rebuilt, you cant build this for the price listed, maybe they have a build book you can review the process of what went into this.

If it’s someone you know, happy to post more information.

Interior looks great, motor looks fresh, some paint details need some attention, maybe rework the rear lights there are some nice options for those around. If Im going that big would be nice to have some flood light off something like those in addition to the extra safety stuff for brakes and turn signal.

The factory lighting at times is such a small target now a days.

Information from seller:

Motor rebuilt professionally. New everything.

Steep on the price here IMO wow, but it is OBO, I would be so far apart on price would not toss an offer, but it’s good to see the rigs and what’s out there at times.

It does have a PTO winch out front, not sure on the exact set up here only a couple pictures handy to pull from.

I probably should have passed on posting this one, but here we go!

1959 Jeep Willys $20,000 Waycross, GA

• CATEGORIES: Uncategorized, Willys Trucks This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.
1959 Jeep Willys $20,000 Waycross, GA
’59 Truck with a V6, if your in the market for a truck and were close by this might be worth a look at the set up, (not shown) for stuff like how the V6 was done. It’s a good power plant for a Willys.  If you have never been in a Truck and are in the Market in general I always recommend anyone who has not sat in and driven a truck to do so prior to buying, they can be a tight fit, Willys were not large vehicles by any means. But Trucks are super fun to drive, nice to find that out a lot sooner that you will need a Wagon to be more comfortable.
 
Information from seller:
1959 Willys Tuck 4WD
Runs Great
Has A/C both cold and hot
Not a restoration
Has a 2003 Chevy V6 engine
Body is in ok shape
