Both 2259 and 60 had no dimples at Daytona and Sebring yet 2196 has them. This to me verifies that Shelby were responsible for the dimples ,but have never seen or read about 2196 earmarked as a FIA contender,This might have been the reason why the bigger rear fenders were developed because if a 427 was part of the plan it makes more sense. ie wider wheels.
