Description

Low Time | Exceptionally Original | Rare Opportunity Overview: Opportunities to acquire a true low-time Piper Super Cub are extremely limited, and N4153A represents one of the cleanest examples currently available. With just 74.3 total hours since new on both airframe and engine, this aircraft stands apart from the typical Super Cub market. Whether you are a backcountry enthusiast, tailwheel pilot, or collector seeking an exceptionally original aircraft, this is a rare chance to own a nearly untouched PA-18-150. The Super Cub remains one of the most respected and capable aircraft in its class, known for its short takeoff and landing (STOL) performance, simplicity, and versatility. N4153A delivers that capability in a condition that is seldom seen in today’s market. Freshly inspected and ready to fly, this aircraft offers a unique combination of proven performance and remarkably low time, making it equally appealing for flying or long-term ownership. Aircraft of this vintage with such low total time rarely come to market. Qualified buyers are encouraged to inquire promptly. Why This Super Cub? The PA-18-150 continues to be one of the most sought-after tailwheel aircraft due to its unmatched versatility and STOL capability. Super Cubs with this level of total time are exceptionally uncommon, particularly in such well-maintained condition. N4153A offers a unique opportunity to acquire a near-original Super Cub with minimal time, suitable for flying, training, or long-term ownership.
