2024 CC Carbon Cub FX2 Project For Sale: “Factory Built, Loaded”

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 2024 CC Carbon Cub FX2 project has been spotted for sale. According to the listing, the aircraft has 236 TT with a 363i 186 HP upgrade. It is a factory-built, FX-2 model loaded with options (Garmin G3X Touch, GTX-345 ADS-B, GMC 307 autopilot with two servos, GTR200 radio, 29″ ABW tundra tires, extended-range tanks, extended baggage, rear access door, leather seats, stainless brake lines, and more). It originally weighed 1,865 lb gross (downsized to ~1,500 lb with Baumann floats; 1,320 lb under older light-sport regs).

The aircraft was damaged in a crosswind landing: main gear folded, left wing and left elevator support, right wing outboard, and related structure were impacted; two-blade Catto prop and some cowlings, cooling, skylight, overhead tube, right door, and several gear fittings show damage, but the 363 FFI engine and most avionics remain intact. It’s repairable and, when repaired, could be valued around or above $350k before further cockpit upgrades; the seller notes that the aircraft is being offered at roughly 15% of repaired value, without the high-end Garmin radios and display installed, leaving flexibility for the buyer to source equipment. The aircraft is stored in Okeechobee, FL, with full logs, FAA bill of sale, and airworthiness certificate included, and it’s sold as a project/rebuild with independent repair cost estimates dependent on parts availability and shop labor.

The aircraft is located in and is currently available for US $44,950, although bids are also being accepted. 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.
