If I'm wrong about the fork (and I think the perception that it is bent is a trick of the photos and the way the fork is turned), then all bets are off. Otherwise, it's potentially a diamond in the rough.
Edit to say: That's probably a NR rear derailleur and not a Record, but if so I'm betting it's an early one (or a replacement).
It's a '70. The crankset was pulled off one of the other Paramounts from this lot - either the black pre-'68 example that presently has a 50th Anniversary crankset on it, or the orange pre-'68 P-13 with the chrome lugs. Why do I say that? One of the other 151 bcd cranksets ended up on a 1980's Motobecane from the same lot. It's been changed.
The rear mech is a Nuovo Record.
