Very Nice looking bike! Picked up a craigslist Concord Gran Fury for $35 this winter, same paint/decals/groupo as yours, but smaller, for my 13 year old son. 19.5 inch crank to seat, 21 inch top tube with everything original and in good shape. Must have been in the basement for 30+ years! Yours looks like a 56-58CM? I figure it is a 1974 or 1975 as well. Out of our 3 other classic steel rides (1987 Nishiki custom sport, 1976 Nishiki mixte, and a BCA Azzuri), the Concord is the smoothest ride. Enjoy the ride.

So close!
It’s almost perfect, needs a rear wheel reflector.

OK. Now that I have my glasses on. I can see that was a sticker on the seat tube. Now I love everything about the bike! Opps

Saaaaah-weeeet bike. I love everything about it except it has a sticker badge. I think it “might” be newer for that reason. Or it could be a re-badge.
I wonder if at the meeting where they decided to use a sticker instead of the classic metal badge. if someone said, “BADGES! We don`t need no stinking BADGES!
