How important is it to use the correct interior paint color during restoration? Car will be Copra/Chicle outside. I'm told the dash and interior trim were a gray color. I like black or the colors of the exterior better. Do I go with original or what I like better?

If it is to be a driver, go with the color you like best. The important thing is for you to enjoy.

Looking at the 2nd edition of the Paint and Finish Guide before 4/30 they
were Moulding Gray and after 3/30 they were Maroon.

Look hard and long at the original color and see if it doesn't look pretty nice, or may be a color you could learn to like. The resale value for correct colors is usually more, if that's of any concern.
