J4A Cub Coupe Data plate

Wed May 10, 2017 3:14 pm

I have come across a removed data plate from a 1939 J4 Cub Coupe. I would like to sell it but do not know if there are any restrictions about doing so. Can anyone advise if I can market this with no problems? Thanks.

I found this and it seems to answer my question:

There have also been a number of advertisements in aviation oriented periodicals offering aircraft ID plates for sale, or indicating the need for certain ID plates. Although this is a matter of concern to the FAA, they have taken no action relative to this activity since the regulations do not provide a basis for enforcement action against those individuals seeking or offering ID plates for sale. In these instances, the FAA takes the position that the purchasers of such ID plates would be in violation of FAR Section 45.13(c) and/or (e) if they were to affix the plates on aircraft without the approval of the FAA.

You can buy and sell aircraft data plate and paperwork(title) all you want without fear from the FAA . This is not illegal in anyway.
If the buyer takes said dataplate or paperwork and attaches it to another airframe , then its illegal, however its been done 1000's of times over the years with hardly anyone ever being violated
