Repainted Viner Special Professional with some original hardware
I got this Viner today (sorry about shots of other bikes -it's the one with crappy repaint). Not marked but given the stars and the star shaped hole in bottom bracket I figure it was a Viner. So not the prettiest. Given what's still on it and what's replaced is it best to part out or attempt some type of restore. I think it might be from 1973-74 due to the code on the Campy Derailleur. And I think the cutout stars mean it was a Special Professional.
Comments appreciated!

the provision on the drive side dropout for the portacatena feature places the frame somewhat later than your proposed date
if a Viviano Nerozzi product, one U.S. agent for the marque at this era was Gus Betat Co. of New Orleans
another manufacturer who made use of the five pointed star cutout around this era was Giuseppe Olmo

Are the wheels sewup? Are the hubs Campy, is it 2x6 gearing, has the rear end been respaced to 126? The Modolo brakes a nice but the sintorised pads tear up rims very quickly, I can tell those wheels probably have not been used much with those brakes.
I'm thinking it's closer to 1980 with the dropout used, braze on over the top bb cable guide, single bottle mounts. I do think it is 126 because of the holes in the dropout.
That looks like what I get from the local coop type place for about $60-80 as-is. On Craigslist as-is $125.
I think the frame alone $40-60, wheels if strait and roll smooth (I don't know the make of hubs or rims) $60-80 perhaps more if they are of better manufacture, the shifters and derailleurs combined about $85, brakes and levers $40 at best, handlebars -$15, stem $15, headset if good $30.
i would think as a bike sale it would top out at $225 cleaned and polished, not much more if any.

My size so if I saw this in the local CL, I’d be thinking refinish project (maybe powder coat) and a lot of work cleaning it all up. $150 knowing I could part it out and make a few bucks if I decided to go in that direction.

Thanks guys for the responses! The hubs say Maillard 500. The seat stem says Campagnolo. The handlebar stem is Nitto Technomic.
So quite the mishmash of parts. I'd kind of like to see what's under the paint of the frame and maybe re-do it.
