The C3 was the third generation Corvette, ; it was based on the Mako Shark project car and kept remarkably close to the development vehicle’s styling. For the first few years of its
production the C3 also carried over the previous model’s “Stingray” tag. It might have been cutting edge in its day but now there’s room for improvement, particularly in the suspension department.
Fitting GAZ dampers to a classic car enables the damping rate to be adjusted to suit the conditions and driving style by means of an easily accessible knob on the side.
GAZ can set the dampers up with valving for general road use and they will also be suitable for the occasional track slalom and sprint use; alternatively, they can be set up for serious racing use if you so wish.
GAZ dampers feature a zinc plated body for longevity and a plastic cover to protect the body from mud, stones and dirt.
All units are individually tested before leaving the factory and are covered by a 2 year warranty
GAZ GT Rear Dampers for the Corvette C3 now have a GAZ part number – GT7-5424- and can be made to order at £64.10 each plus VAT. Fronts can also be made to order.
GAZ can produce custom made dampers for many other rare classics by working from either the original specifications or the original dampers. Price is dependent on application.
