The public federal record on N485NK, 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.
Registration status is "Sale reported, pending cancellation". An aircraft cannot be operated on an invalid or expired registration; resolve this with the FAA before any transaction. [1]
Experimental certificate for amateur built; the FAA file gives no certificate date and no manufacture year. [1]

1 document received recently: Bill of sale (evidence of ownership) (September 14, 2026). [3]
No NTSB investigation records located under N485NK. CLEAR means the query ran and returned nothing, not that nothing ever happened. [4]
