Hi I have a 67 rally sport convertible, which is originally deepwater blue with white interior. It’s non-Numbers matching car with anwith a 396 and a four-speed . It was originally a 327 four-speed car. My question is will it lose value repainting it marina blue which I think is a prettier color with the white interior or should I keep it original to the trim tag .Thank you for your input .

If it is not the original surviving paint then IMO it does not matter. When you change colors there is the question of how far do you go? How do you handle the firewall/cowl the interior, trunk. The less you do the more someone could point it out when buying it but the easier it is to return it to stock color.
Again just my opinion If some day someone want to return the car to all original they are in for a big project including complete paint. People do not realize most modern paint jobs are too nice to be stock anyway and would take away points in a real judging. An original painted car in survivor condition it worth keeping that way but once that original Lacquer is gone then its gone. Laying down a factory type paint with factory correct body gaps will cost as much as a high end show paint job will.
