That's a 1973 Continental. The frame dates to January of that year (AJxxxxxx). You can see the original catalog page here:

 
What year did they switch to chrome forks on the Continental? Mine has chrome but is a late 70's bike. Gary
 
aparrently this one was originally yellow - i plan to take it back to the yellow - , and trim in grey and small touches of white
