Gabriel used that color back in the 70's. They look like Airshocks.

I really doubt they are Gabriels. I have only seen Gabriels in white(and now made in black)and the NOS Gabriels I have the name Gabriel is plastered all over the box and instruction sheet and a huge silver blue and red Gabriel decal on the shock themselves..

Looks like a off brand.

I thought for sure you would have the answer whitetop.. One of my friends has them on his GTO they have been on since the mid 70's

I'm still thinking off brand. I worked for a warehouse distributor back in the late 80's and we carried Gabriel to the parts stores. &quot;Cleaned&quot; up many of old parts stores who sold Gabriel and never saw anything other than white on air shocks.

The guy who built my car had a set of Gabriels chromed but they always leaked so he put on a off brand set that were maroon in color and they are still on the car

Appears the orange ones were offbrands made by Gabriel...but I have never seen them in orange when I worked in the warehouse parts business...and I cleaned up maybe 75-100 old auto parts stores..maybe a canadian thing.
