That's a 1984 Standard and the letter in front looks to be possibly a "C" for March or possibly a "G" for July. It should have the rainbow color decals like my '83. About September '84 the decals were changed and by that point the serial number was moved completely to the BB shell. My '83 has nothing stamped in the bottom. Note that the cable guide is on the top of the BB. By the end of the year or early '85 cable routing was moved to the underside of the BB shell.

IMO, it is over priced for a poorly done and in poor shape re-paint with the wrong decals. The drive side chain stay should not have been painted. It is all polished chrome.
