1945 J-3C Piper Cub Project For Sale: “Entire Aircraft, Complete Logs”

A 1945 J-3C Piper Cub project has been spotted for sale. The listing states (in part):

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. Left wing and rudder from L4… Engine sitting for 19 years. Needs some minor tube repairs. 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. Complete logs… Entire aircraft, but currently apart.

The aircraft is located in Vacaville, California and is currently available for US $24,000. Click here to check out the eBay listing, which includes additional photos and details.

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.
