This car confuses many people. This largely stems from the fact that the S2000s we acquired for the FIRST movie were re-used for the SECOND movie.
The story goes like this:
The Hero 1 car for Johnny Tran was owned by RJ DeVera (who also played Danny Yamato – the young guy driving the white Civic in the four-way race in the first movie.
RJ bought the car before the movie and it was originally black.
After he got the car BACK from Universal, he painted it a bluish-purple color. Some time later, he freshened the car’s look by painting it orange.
The car was soon after sold to Universal for use in 2 Fast 2 Furious for Suki. It was then painted pink.
Eventually, the car went to the Peteresen Automotive Museum in Losa Angeles, California, where it lives today (as of June 2019). I do not know if it was sold, loaned or donated to the Petersen musuem.
