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.

TODAY!

Looking forward to driving out to this show. Hope to see you there!

Taking the red 63 Wagon, so if you see me there say Hi!
The Great Willys Picnic, Show and Swap Meet
Sunday June 8, 2025 from 9 am – 2 pm at the Wanamaker, Kempton & Southern Railroad
I have plans to be at this one, taking the red Wagon, which was at one of the older Picnics when it was held up the road, the previous owner drove it out there, so it’s making another appearance this year and we are excited to be back out there for this one.

The Great Willys Picnic, Show and Swap Meet
Sunday June 8, 2025 from 9 am – 2 pm at the Wanamaker, Kempton & Southern Railroad
located in Kempton, Pennsylvania

It’s time to plan for the 25th annual Great Willys Picnic, Car Show and Swap Meet, the largest Willys event in the Northeast. All vehicles are welcome: stock, modified, projects, CJs, Wagons, Trucks, Jeepsters, Military, Cars and even GPWs! Pre-1970 Willys vehicles are eligible to win door prizes and great Raffles are available for everyone. The Jeep Field is open for showing all more modern Jeeps. There is plenty of space for selling your spare parts in the swap meet area. Bring your Willys memorabilia and interesting parts for show and tell. Be sure to arrive early to have enough time to see all the Jeeps before the door prize winners and raffles are announced at 2:00 PM. Bring your own picnic lunch or purchase food at the refreshment stand. This event goes on Rain or Shine.

The Picnic will be held on the grounds of the

Wanamaker, Kempton Southern Railroad

http://www.kemptontrain.com

Located in the scenic village of Kempton, Pennsylvania. This is a great setting to display our classic Willys vehicles, as well as entertainment for the entire family. Also on-site is the Schuykill & Lehigh Model Railroad Club’s HO model train display. Please support the Railroad and take the optional train ride for a very reasonable fee.

As always the Willys Picnic, Show and Swap is free. Do not fall for any scams, the Willys Picnic is FREE. There is no preregistration.
