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'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
