Default Carpet for '73

Hi all,

Getting ready for the final workings on my '73 Stingray (Coupe I just learned) .. I am wondering about carpet-- has anyone had experience with the RockAuto line of replacement carpet?

I am just finishing up a full carpet replacement from https://www.ocautocarpets.com/catalog/auto-carpets/ fit perfectly with minimum trimming. And they did it with a custom ( not stock color). Highly recommended.

RockAuto sells ACC carpet, which many vendors sell. ACC also sells many "grades" of carpet. So I don't know what you'd get if you order some.

The last time I ordered ACC carpet, I was able to get it from Wilcox Corvette.

OC is selling ACC carpet - at least that's what they list for a '67 coupe.

I was asking Al Knoch for their price on just the fronts for a '67 in teal. The reply was that they sell so little of it that they stopped offering it and recommended ACC.

That was my experience with ACC and OC. I DON’t know how they are hooked up but the OC products were the same as on the ACC website but prices were almost half.

ACC sells several grades of carpet. Perhaps the stuff the Vendors get (like Wilcox, RIP Ernie) are the Kirkland equivalent.

I purchased my 74 replacement carpets through Full Throttle Corvette cheaper than I could find anywhere else, and to my surprise, they were Al Knoch carpet sets.
Very happy w the fit!
