This vintage 1937 Taylor J-2 Cub Aircraft, N20078, represents a unique project opportunity. Just over 1200 examples of the J-2 were built between 1936 and 1938; this late example was constructed in October 1937, just one month before the company was officially renamed the Piper Aircraft Corporation, and is serial number 1878. Included are the data plate, fuselage, wings, wing struts, ailerons, horizontal stabilizers, elevators, rudder, landing gear, engine mount, engine cowling, nose piece, window plexiglass, lower door frame, a single mounted tire, original seats, and other assorted components, as photographed. The logbook for this example is not present and flight hours are unknown. Originally powered by the Continental A-40 engine available in Lot 5, J-2s were frequently upgraded to the more powerful Continental A-65 engine available in Lot 15.
