Douglas : You are remembering quite right.
The Opel was made in Germany between 1967 to 1971,it came in several ways regarding bodys.
There was :2d and 4d sedan 2 and 4 door stationwagon and then there was the 2 door hard top Coupe. The Rekord used a 1.9 liter 4 cyl @ 90 hp and there was also a model called Rekord Sprint thar had the same 1.9 liter but with 2 dual-port Weber carbs and a cam that was a little bit "bigger" @ approx 115 hp.And the body also came as a model called Commodore but it came in 2 body versions: 4d sedan and 2d Hard top Coupe,they had a 2.5 liter inline 6 the first years then the engine went to 2.8 liters
it used a single 2 port Solex (115 hp)but a step up model called GS had dual Webers (aprox 140 hp)and finally there was a model called GS/E that had EFI (155 hp)The engines responded very well to modifications and hp figures around 250 hp was made with triple DCOE Webers and the usual headwork and so on... The 1.9 liter 4 banger was used for many years and got a bit bigger during the years,first it went to 2.0 and then to 2.2 and at the end it was at 2.4 liters,taht little engine is one of the most popular in rallye-competitions in Europe and a 2.4 built the right way usually produces between 240 to 270 hp and still have enough tourqe to make good power coming out of tight corners on gravel-roads.
