a while back, i made reference in many different thread to the different exterior styling of European 3000GTs. i found those pictures, but haven't been able to locate the website from which i downloaded them. but here they are for your enjoyment. if you can read French or German, then these will be even more interesting to you to read the captions. My French is really rusty, but perhaps i'll try a crappy translation for you.

What i love most about this version of the 3000GT is the pop-up headlights and their turn signal, no snake eyes, and what i believe is a headlight washer spray nozzle mounted where the snake eyes would be.

enjoy!

I want that front end.

[Igovert500]

Very nice. I assume the French says the same as the German...Singing it's praises and telling about all the features, etc.

I love that front end as well. I can read some of the German nothing special. Its "Car of the Year" in Veronegen (SP?) Staten or US. And talks about not only the handling but electronic controls. After the fourth pic it talks about optional features such as ABS, AA, and says its a schnell or fast car.

is it possible to get those headlight covers and turn signals overhere? do they just hook right up?

[VR43000GT]

^^^ Anything is possible my friend. You would probably have to move part of that black strip on the front in order to get those lengthy lights to fit though.

[sLADe781]

Very nice indeed! I have a coworker who knows French so I'll ask her if I have time tomorrow....

[AutostradaVR4]

eh...not crazy about the look. would be unique though. I wonder if they think our front end looks good lol.

I want that front end to but i have a ? if the 3kgt was never sold in europe is that just a unuqie front end to the imported converted ones?

99% sure those are the RHD GTO's for export.

it is clear in the pictures that its a LHD vehicle.

I speculate that Europe has different regulations on automotive lighting, and so perhaps this front bumper turn signal option was made available only for GTO's shipped to Europe???

i found a guy on 3si who has this car http://www.3si.org/forum/showpost.ph...4&postcount=27

[VR43000GT]

It says it's UK spec though. I cant tell but it might just be an import with RHD as well which I would love to have.
