The Complete 3000GT Production Numbers by Color

[atarirx]

'97 and '98 #s are complete now and added a few other random ones I was missing.

Thanks for posting this!

Sorry if I missed this but where did you gather this info? I had always remembered from my research that there was only 1 '97 VR-4 produced that was B34. God help me if I find that one (or one of the 4).

The Amethyst in the junk yard car is a knife to the heart! I looked for years to find one for Dani but never could find a decent one.

Most of the VR4 #s come from a previous post and I've been running VINs through the storyteller as I have time to update and add in the SLs and bases. The figures are generated from CAPS and may not reflect actual cars sold, such as the green 96 Spyders which do not actually exist. It is quite possible that there was only one blue 97 VR4 sold and not four. This only serves as a rough guide but gives everyone a pretty good idea as to how rare a specific color is.

Here is the olive green 96 VR4 in a salvage auction

IIRC, when we ran the VIN, there were 2, not 1 like he has listed above.

We need to revisit the Spyder numbers of what was supposed to be the production projected as reflected above and what was actually produced by ASC!

3000GT Spyder Production History

Yea, the spyder numbers are all wrong. I had the correct list of exterior colors at one point, I'll have to try to dig it up again.

A lot of the numbers are wrong. The Spyders, a whole block of missing VINs from 91, the missing 95 Stealth TTs, and some incorrect counts from later on. There were missing VINs from 97 too. It affected the count of the blue and belgium green cars especially. I've got all the details at home.

Bottom line is, the storyteller is an educated guess at best. Pretty much any time someone says "my car is 1 of x" they really should be putting an * after it.

*Based on incomplete VIN data.

At the beginning of this thread a very wise man posted the following disclaimer of sorts:

These are based on CAPS figures and obviously not 100% accurate compared to what was actually sold but it is still a good place to get a general idea as to how rare your car really is.
... If I've got something wrong let me know and I'll fix it, I did not run all of these myself and I'm sure several of them are incorrect.

So take it as a rough estimate but nothing more. Just trying to help out here...

Jeff, if you have better data for the 97s please let me know, I'm well aware that those numbers may be way off and would love to update them to make the list more accurate. Thanks!

1992 Sandstone Gray Metallic - VR4: 387

Nice! I wonder which one I am?

[atarirx]

Its been a while since I did any updates to the list, I have now completed the numbers for 93 and 94. That leaves only a few from 91 and 92 to finish it off.

i thought the blue in 94 and the blue in 95 was different?
