Project Eroica

I was looking for a bike I can prepare for Eroica California in April, and came across this Schwinn. I found it at a yard sale and picked it up for $25.
Except for lighter alloy wheels and perhaps climbing gears I want to keep it as original as possible.
A good cleaning and new bearings will be first.

What year is this Le Tour?
The head badge is stamped 1131
I'm thinking a Japanese made 1981?
