384 is the code for the gray cloth and vinyl interior on a Sportsman

Is the car a 2 door or 4 door hardtop?

Do you have (power) swivel seats?

Please replicate your data plate so we can help you further

Thanks for taking time in decoding and verify the information.

I was looking to confirm what we thought the interior colours were as per the pics below as we are completing the interior.

The car has a/c and the sweep has gold in the middle.

Here are a couple of pics of the car. (we have original hubcaps for the car now).

The outside pics are older and the interior shots are new.
