I believe it is a Made in China Raleigh Tourist ripoff. Probably 1990s or later. Below is a similar bike.

That is not a Phoenix from Leeuwarden. It is a Chinese Raleigh copy. You can probably still buy them new.
EDIT: oddjob2 beat me to it.

Check the logo midway down on this page, looks just like the headbadge.

if there are no marking on frame to indicate country of origin how about checking marking on tyres?
it she has been idle for thirty-five years they are unlikely to have been changed in that period.

True...the top tube says made in china
The tubes were red, it took me an hour to change the rear tube
I will check the head badge and the tires tomorrow, I rode it home from the bike shop last night, god damn this thing is a tank- it sure feels old lol

Especially not with a fork like that. 
The Chinese signs and badge puts it somewhere in Asia and the headlight, with what looks like a switch on top, means it's probably fairly modern.
Edit: That weld on the fork is terrifying btw. O_o

Anyone willing to sell me their Phoenix bike?
My grandparents gave me their Phoenix bike they imported from China in the ‘80s. Some absolute jerk stole it off of my porch last year & I have been devastated ever since. I would be willing to purchase it to fill the Phoenix-sized hole in my heart. It was just shocking waking up to a thief ripping the bike from where it was chained up!
