No, the closest you can get is either Mate or the Flashback session. Or you could consider either Lubuntu or Xubuntu.Quote:

Mate is technically a fork of the Gnome 2 code base, but in use it is almost entirely identical. In addition to bug fixes, GTK3 compatibilty is being added to allow contemporary applications to run smoothly.
