1945 J3C "Johnny Cash" Piper Cub project, 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.  (Wouldn't it be fun to paint left wing and rudder in L4 olive drab colors for Oshkosh?  Or not.  :-)

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.

Looking for good home.  Entire aircraft, but currently apart.

Sold as is, where is, subject to prior sale, pickup only.
