Default Talbot Yellow 930

I recently purchased this rather unique '79 Talbot Yellow 930 and I'm guessing that there can't be many out there with this color combination (Yellow leather and yellow carpet). It is a Euro Car and was imported to USA in 1984. I am wondering if anyone knows any of the history of it from '79 to when it arrived in the States. Any help is greatly appreciated.

No side markers or side mirror on pass side, repaint with 78 decals?, I've been contemplating those decals, they look great, but I might sell soon so I haven't pulled trigger on it.

Did you notice the wipers lay down on the passenger side. What's up with that? That's not a respray either.

A semi-common modification.

That is pure Porsche. It really reminds me of that period.

Condition looks very good in the photos. Have you been able to verify the work done on the car to "federalize" it? My understanding is that this could vary in quality depending on who did it.

That said, assuming it is as original as it looks, that must be worth quite some money. 3.3 Turbos are desirable right from the get-go, but add in that stunning color combo and you have something really special.

Why is it that I've been scouring the interwebs looking at 930's the last couple of nights in the hotel? I'm getting an itch...
