Model history
The Opel Commodore B was built as a luxury variant of the Opel Rekord D. While the Rekord was offered in a number of variants, the Commodore was offered as either a 4-door sedan or a 2-door coupé. It also got its own engine series, based on the 2.5 and 2.8 liter inline-six with cam-in-head, as on many other Opel engines. The camshaft is located at the top, but does not operate the valves like an OHC engine, but like an OHV engine with short pushrods and rocker arms. The 2.5 engine was available as S or GS, while the 2.8 engine could be available as GS or GS/E with Bosch electronic injection. Both the Opel Rekord D and Commodore B were produced from model year 1972 to model year 1977.
