Not sure if Arush's 3000GT is still in usable condition or not. Adil - do you still have your GTO?

Yes, all the 3 GT3000s (Arush, Spiff, GJ - Owner=Eklavya) are on the same web page. Not sure of the current state of each of these.
As your rightly mentioned, the Supras, 300ZX, 3000GTs all fall in the same boat. And yes, these are still really beautiful even today. But one would be more happier literally and practically with a easy project car. If healthy Germans cant survive 10 years today with official setups, what are the chances that these 2+ decade old ones can survive healthily when hardly anyone here knew or knows how to work on them and parts were never easily available then nor now. Just lack of modern electronics does not make these easy owns. It will always be a trial and error job.

How did I forget Bollywood!!

Was just watching Golmaal Again trailer and just as I had said :

Am sure this GT would have suffered the same fate as this S Type (Pics: Imports gathering dust in India). The bumper side vents have already been ripped open.

A couple of GTO's I have come across on the web.

I had been very keen in purchasing this a few years back but the character of the seller made me decide other wise.

This came again a few months back for sale :It's originally Red and was wrapped for the shoot. The AWD was disengaged powering only the Rear wheels for those drifts and the car was lowered running on some indian adapted springs. Even the current wheels which they sport were much smaller than the originals.

As you say V12 , this car met with a bad fate!

Nice job Adil sir! I believe there used to be a similar colored 3000GT with Choksi a few years ago. I prefer the original red colour though - although waiting for the final outcome.

[adilkhan5]

Will post pictures when complete. This is just the Initial coat. Mirror finish yet to be done. Quite a long and tedious process but worthwhile.
Will keep the other GTO red ad you say!

[adilkhan5]

Went with matte yellow. Last minute change of plan.

Seems this car was brought to Bangalore eventually. I posted the pics on this thread recently:

Interior and engine bay





On the road finally, driven home

Does anyone have an idea how many of these 3000GTs exist in the country? Somewhere down the line I may have to drop my hopes of finding used Evo X's in classifieds and maybe hunt one of these down. The car with a lot of "first seen" production technology in the 90's!

[adilkhan5]

I have two for starters.
This one done will start on the other.

Looks smashing! Congrats. Even though this is a 25+ year old design, I'm amazed at how it still doesn't look outdated at all. Evergreen like a Porsche 911 or a Corvette.

You should get rid of the green highlights though.

[adilkhan5]

Thanks gto
Somehow like the green , wanted something out of the box. Looks better in the flesh
Wiĺl keep the other one simple though
