C3 Corvette Radiator Supports

A C3 Corvette is one collector car you’ll enjoy in the modern era. Some models give you close to 400 horsepower, which is more than enough to smoke the competition at the track. The C3 build is aggressive inside and out, and collectors travel great distances to acquire ZR1 package vehicles, 25th-anniversary releases and the Collector’s Edition Corvette that came out toward the end of the third-generation era.

All C3 vehicles are impressive, but certain components are vital for consistent engine performance under the hood. One of these essential parts is the front-end radiator your car uses to regulate operating temperatures. When you’re making adjustments to your C3, remember that Top Flight Automotive has C3 radiator core supports to replace yours. Hold your Corvette radiator in place with our affordable solutions for 1968-1982 vehicles.

What Are C3 Corvette Radiator Supports?

Corvette radiator supports hold the weight of your muscle car’s radiator. The attachments are joined to your Corvette’s frame for stability, as radiator assemblies contain liquid coolant. A radiator support was included with your third-generation Corvette at the Chevrolet factory, but old age, frequent driving and road vibrations may have caused deterioration over decades of use.

Your 1968-1982 Corvette relies on its radiator to prevent the engine from overheating. Making sure that your radiator support is in top condition helps you operate your vehicle safely with fewer risks surrounding your cooling system. Take your favorite muscle car out for a spin knowing your radiator housing will not budge. This reassurance can save you thousands of dollars in repairs.

When Should I Replace My C3 Corvette Radiator Support?

If you get into a front-end collision, we recommend taking your C3 to have an experienced professional assess your radiator support. Radiator supports can last the lifespan of your vehicle, but anything that causes your vehicle’s frame to bend leaves room for concern.

Replace your original C3 Corvette radiator support if you or your mechanic notices that:

• Radiator support pieces are rusty.
• Metal support connections show cracks.
• Only part of the radiator support is welded to the frame.
