Most places sell ACC made carpeting. Al Knoch has his own (don't know who makes it for him) and Willcox sells his carpeting.
Those are the only two carpet makers for C3's that I know.

Either Al Knoch or Mid America Motorworks. MAM comes with the padding and foil back already attached for what these other guys charge for just the carpet. But either way both make their own and are not just a vendor.

Two posts said Willcox sells Al Knoch and one said he sells ACC.
I just got my carpet from Willcox this week and it's from ACC.
Just saying if you care who the supplier is, ask the seller before you purchase, as it appears they switch suppliers.
I bought from Willcox when he had a 20% off carpet sale - because I thought it to be the best deal. Sign up for his emails - he'll probably run it again.

I am going to buy carpet and redo my interior for my '72, but I haven't bought any yet. ACC does make great replacement carpet kits. Here is an ACC kit in my '70 Mustang. Colors are perfect, they match everything up great. I was very pleased with the turn out. So I assume the same quality would be present in C3 carpet kits.

I had bought ACC carpeting from Eckler's and was not happy with the thinness between the loops and also some of the loops were a lot longer than other one's. After returning it, I bought Mid America Motor works carpeting and was a lot happier with it. Lou.

If you have a color (i.e. non-black) carpet I'd highly recommend getting color swatches from the 3 companies that actually make Corvette carpet. Those would be ACC, Al Knoch and MidAmerica. You will find that some colors, especially blues, will not be what you expect, and you might choose supplier based on the color as much as the cost.
