3151.2 TT, C85-8FJ 1657.1 TT. Disassembled for students of Clyde Smith’s Piper Cub Restoration Seminar in Aurora years ago, where he discovered it was rebuilt w/1938 fuselage likely during 1959 repair from wind damage, so will need slight modification to bring back up to 1945 GW rating, if you desire.

Wood spars have some checking (splitting) on inboard ends, so may need new spars ($662 for front, $553 for rear, plus freight from Spruce). Aluminum prop. Continuous FAA registration.

1946 Piper J3C-65 Cub Project For Sale

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 1946 Piper J3C-65 Cub project has been spotted for sale.

According to the listing, the aircraft is equipped with an A-75 engine (2,900 total time, 329 since overhaul). It has complete logbooks since 1959, as well as other paperwork. Originally purchased new by a WWII veteran and kept in Minnesota ever since, it received major updates in the 1990s, including metal wing spars and late model Cleveland double-puck wheels and brakes, along with newer additions such as shoulder harnesses and custom embroidered seats. The plane suffered minor, low-speed taxi damage this summer when the left gear struck a sign, resulting in a curled left gear leg and slight deformation to the left wing’s forward spar face, but with no apparent fuselage, right-side or visible engine damage. The aircraft remains clean and largely intact—essentially a repair project—with original instrumentation, undamaged glass, and a bent metal prop from idle speed contact. Sold with a current FAA Bill of Sale and Airworthiness Certificate.

The aircraft is located in Glenwood, MN and is available for US $16,950, although bids are also being accepted. Click here to check out the eBay listing, which incudes many additional photos and details.

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.

1940 Piper J-4a Cub Coupe For Sale: “Damaged, Very Very Repairable, Cheap”

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 1940 Piper J-4a Cub Coupe airframe hgas been spotted for sale. The listing states (in part):

1,650 TT, restored 2018, front damaged, very, very repairable, cheap!… This aircraft had a very nice, very complete rebuild/refurbishment signed off in 2017. Extras added at this time were: Hooker shoulder harnesses and seatbelts, Grove wheels and disc brakes, New style gascolator and fuel selector, New style tach, airspeed and altimeter. The interior is super well done, with nicely done woodwork, new seat covering, headliner and baggage sling. The dash was cleaned up and all new electrical wiring and switches added. Last annual was performed 4/14/2021 (so this airplane is technically still in annual until next spring, not a sitter). Unfortunately, a takeoff in May of this year resulted in a stall, and the airplane landed nose first! As you can imagine, the engine was damaged, and it has been removed and is not included here.

The aircraft is located in Minneapolis, Minnesota and is currently available for bidding. Click here to check out the listing on eBay.

1946 Piper Cub Project Spotted For Sale: “Hit a Fence, Cute, Cheap”

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 1946 Piper J3C-65 Cub project has been spotted for sale. The machine reportedly hit a fence and is described as “cute, cheap.” The listing states (in part):

The logs we have show the total time as of 1996 to be 1131 hours. At that time 7/96 the airplane was rebuilt and recovered after sitting for a long time. Extensive work was done to the airframe, wings, surfaces, gear, etc.etc. And all new fabric was applied to everything at that time. The A-65 Continental engine was also rebuilt at that time, with a standard limits crankshaft. Since that rebuild the aircraft has been used and inspected regularly and now has 1,565 hours total time!

The last takeoff did not go as planned. The engine ran up just fine, but during the takeoff roll the power and rpm seemed to decline, so even though the airplane had broken ground, the pilot slipped it back onto what was left of the grass runway. Without enough room to stop, the airplane impacted a wooden fence at the edge of the airport.

The listing includes a list of damage as well as a selection of photos. It also describes the machine as “a whole J3C-65, annual just expired 9/1/2020” and “not a rusty barn find.” It reportedly includes the logbooks for both engine and airframe (96-present) and the FAA bill of sale.

The aircraft is located in Minneapolis, Minnesota and is currently available for bidding with a “buy it now” price of US $9,950. Click here to check out the complete listing on eBay.
