SP 3886
Title:  SP 3886
Description:  SP 3886 was the final GP9R done by Espee, being released in March 1979. It also had one of the shortest life spans of any rebuilt unit due to a wreck in El Seguando, CA in July 1983. It was sold to Chrome Crankshaft in August 1985, moved to their facility near San Bernardino by early September, and scrapped the next year in May 1986.
