The Enterprise which was non orbitting test vehicle is already at the Smithsonian. I don't think they have the budget and storage for three more OVs.

We still need these vehicles that were projected to each fly approximately one hundred missions. But I agree the craft is cetainly no longer 'state of the art.' But thank to many myopic budget cuts over the years that would have given us the access to space we need to develop that frontier.

another Enterprise link
and another
