Agreed, the big attraction is the 1st generation Camapgnolo Super Record components. It's unfortunate that the hubs aren't present. That frame itself is only in fair condition and as previously noted, Torpado isn't a big name. They were one of the lesser known, mass volume, full range brands. In fact, there was no Torpado company. Torpado was a brand owned by the Torresini company, which was established by Carlo Torresini in 1895, in Padova, Italy. The Torpado name comes from the founder plus the city (i.e TORresini + PADOva = TORPADO).
