None, at least when we're talking about the material located in the d20 SRD. Actually, no, there were a few prestige classes like
Dwarven Defender,
Loremaster,
Blackguard,
Arcane Archer and so on and so forth. Outside of the the SRD there are, like, thousands of prestige classes that have been released in various sources. Literally, like, thousands. The vast majority of 'em being just a "flavour-of-the-week" kind of deal, really.
All that aside, there are some AD&D classes that showed up in 3.X as prestige classes -i.e:
Assassin- but only one that recieved a treatment in both AD&D and 3.X as a core class, and has yet to be introduced in LL. That class would be
Barbarian. Now, I think that anyone that has seen
that class as it was set down in
Unearthed Arcana would agree with me in saying that that particular class would require a
lot of re-working. A
lot.
EDIT:
Oh, right, races... sheesh. Um, again, there are no races unique to 3.X seen in the SRD. However, when it comes to the material printed by WotC
alone there are, uh, tons. Like, a whole whack of 'em. Going beyond WotC's junk just makes my brain ache. Again, there
is some good stuff, but not too much when you consider the sheer amount which managed to find its way out the printers' doors.
