There were three SR2s.
The red car with a high fin was raced at Sebring in '57 as #2. E.B. Rose raced this car later in '57.

Another SR2 with high fin was originally blue, but was painted purple metallic for the 1958 Sebring race, and was number 3. This car was the first Purple People Eater. The car is now blue again, and is owned by Rich Mason of NV.

The third car was also painted blue, but was not raced. That car had a short fin.

The tall fins were actually the same shape as the side trim panel from the '57 Chevy BelAir.

Do you know where Shelby raced the SR2?
