The public federal record on N1179C, read the way a buyer, lender or insurer reads it: FAA registration, prior tail numbers keyed on the serial number, reuse of the tail number, recent registry filings, and the NTSB accident record under this and every earlier registration.
Valid registration to Rettler Randal L, an individual, certificate issued November 7, 2018, expires November 30, 2028. No fractional interest recorded. [1]
No airworthiness certificate is on file. Usual for a newly registered aircraft, a project, or an aircraft that has not flown since a change of registration; ask for the certificate. [1]
No earlier tail number is recorded against serial 92078 for this model in the deregistered file. [2]
N1179C was previously assigned to 3 other aircraft: Cirrus Design Corp SR20 (serial 1304, cancelled July 13, 2009); Miracle Robert D SONERAI II (serial 135, cancelled February 20, 1985); Piper PA-22-135 (serial 22-1006, cancelled July 15, 1959).

No bills of sale, loans or releases have reached the registry in recent weeks. The index covers only recent filings; older liens are in the records file. [3]
No NTSB investigation records located under N1179C. CLEAR means the query ran and returned nothing, not that nothing ever happened. [4]
These live in the FAA aircraft records file (every document ever filed against the aircraft) and, for larger aircraft, the International Registry. Part of the full report.
