    Could someone please provide guidance for which color paint was used on the interior of the 65 GT 350R model, including the dash, floor and doors.
    Thanks in advance.

    It is a relative question. It could be glossier then the other interior parts but not a high gloss.

    JMO, but parts that were painted with black enamel paint over 40 years go will tend to look semi gloss or even dull black as paint will loose its shine. Quality of the paint was no were like it is today. Not alot of race cars got a good cleaning to the interior and often lots of re-painting was done with spray cans over time. It wouldn't suprise me if the R model's had paint runs and dry spots in the interior.
