Does anyone know about locating replacement carpet for my car-camel?
Does anyone know where to get the original paint color for my car-beige/drake bronze?

eBay is generally a good place to look for things like the radio/tape player. Unless the original radio said "Corvette" on it or something try searching without using the word "Corvette" to avoid what is often referred to as the "Corvette tax".
All of the vendors sell original style carpet sets in all original colors. They are nicely molded and reasonably easy to install.
Depending on when yours was built it may have lacquer paint (if built in St. Louis) or modern enamel with clear coat (if built in Bowling Green). The paint and trim codes are on a plate attached to the driver door front jamb. While I don't believe that the original type lacquer paint is easily available, any good parts house can make a matching modern paint. If yours is two-tone it was assembled in Bowling Green and uses modern style paint.
