OEM components were Campagnolo Gran Sport. From what I can see, it's mostly OEM with notable exceptions of the rear derailleur, chainrings, saddle and pedals. The OEM rear derailleur was a Campagnolo Rally. As others have noted, a repaint and new decals are highly likely. This is a fairly rare model. Enjoy your new acquisition!
[MENTION=20650]T-Mar[/MENTION], thanks for the model and year ID. I was hoping that you might be able to ID it. I won't actually have it for a week or so, but I plan to keep it as-is for the most part. Saddle and pedals will be replaced, but the remainder will stay as-is. I am pretty sure it is a repaint, and the decals for a roughly 40 year old frame are almost never in that condition. The paint around the rear axle is too good to be original too. The panto on the stem and seatpost look clean. This will be a nice project to polish up and ride. I guess I found my Eroica bike now.
