I've wondered about this myself, the solution I'd pondered was to sell

the airframe labeled as 'not airworthy' in the sales contract

and leave the responsibility of the new owner to certify that

the airframe is infact airworthy. Would this then absolve one

of responsibility due to future use of the airframe by other

persons [new owners]?? Not the most romantic sales

jargon, but it's better than cutting it up!
