Looks like an '86. There should be some small numbers on the headbadge that will indicate the date for sure. Nice overall ride in my opinion. Looks like it is cleaning up nicely.

I believe the "8" after the "G" equates to 1988, and the G = Giant. Was it built in Taiwan?
Here's a link to the '88 LeTour.

"3447" would mean it was built on the 344th day in 1987, and that's about Dec 23, 1987, thus a 1988 model.
