Seventies Gitane info

I run a project called Gears For The Gospel where I accept donated bikes and fix them up for resale. The proceeds benefit local charities like a ministry for the homeless called OurCalling. Unfortunately, the past few months I was slammed at work and didn't have a chance to really do anything for it. Last week, however, my friend messages me and says "hey, are you still doing that bike fixing up thing for charity?" I met him to accept the donated bike and WOW. It's better than the usual bikes that are donated. Seventies to late seventies Gitane, best I can tell. Full Campagnolo. It definitely has some character and patina. I'll have to completely soak and scrub all components, deep clean the frame, and polish all chrome. I think I will even re-lace the wheels.

Can anyone give any insight into the model and year? I can probably better ascertain a value after that. Thanks!
Pics to come momentarily from my phone.
