The public federal record on N8771C, 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.

CLEARPrior registrations of this airframe

ATTENTIONTail number reuse

N8771C was previously assigned to 1 other aircraft: Piper PA-18A (serial 18-2860, cancelled November 27, 1955). Histories keyed to the tail number alone can mix aircraft up; this check keys on the serial number. [2]
