This 1988 Piper PA-18 Super Cub (N789JP) presents as a remarkably preserved example with only 189 total hours since new, having spent most of its life in private collections. The aircraft underwent a comprehensive restoration after wind damage early in its life, with no expense spared, and features a 150 HP engine that received complete disassembly and inspection after a prop strike at 89 hours - including crank replacement, cylinder overhauls, and all new bearings. The engine compartment shows exceptionally clean condition with 72/80 compression and recent corrosion inspection at its July 2026-due annual.

The airframe maintains a like-new appearance with 1994 Cub yellow paint and original 1988 black interior, complemented by Demmers droop wing tips, VGs, metal flight surfaces, and clear glass throughout. Avionics include a King KX165 nav/com and KT76A transponder with an encoding altimeter, though the seller offers a $2,500 allowance for ADS-B compliance. Notable features include tundra tires (uninstalled), oil filter system, shoulder harnesses, and always being hangared when not in use. The aircraft comes with complete documentation of its limited use history and restoration work, presenting as what the seller describes as "a 9 airplane in and out."
