1940 Piper J-4A Project For Sale: “Undamaged Wings, Fuselage, Surfaces, Lots of Parts”

Please Note: This is an archived post. The information presented here may not be current and the associated listing may no longer be active.

A second 1940 Piper J4A Cub Coupe project has also been spotted for sale. The listing states (in part):

1940 Piper J4A “Cub Coupe” project, undamaged bare wings, fuselage and surfaces, plus other parts!… The logbook that we received with the airplane only goes through 1971 and shows 847 hours, but there may have been an additional logbook after that we didn’t receive. This aircraft appears to have been fully disassembled and the fabric stripped from an undamaged airplane, as there does not seem to be any obvious recent repairs, nor is there any damage visible to the fuselage structure or the wings! Spars, ribs, channels and reinforcements in the wings look textbook! Even the leading edges look good! The horizontals, elevators and rudder are uncovered, but also show no damage… It is obvious that, although lots of parts are included, most in great condition, not every part is here.

This project is also located in Minneapolis, Minnesota and is available for bidding. Click here to check out the listing on eBay, where you will also find an abundance of additional photos and details.
