The only 2707 'prototypes' that I recall built were left half only wooden and paper fabrications in a large hangar, simply created for photographic purposes! I also recall a lot of publicity that that program cost more than the eventual cost of developing Concorde....which did fly, and highly successfully scientifically, if commercially dealt a death blow by the recession and fuel crisis of the 70s.
