carsntrucks4you Posted October 6 Share Posted October 6 (edited) This rear end belongs to a 1969 - 1977 Opel Admira B. The Admiral was the intermediate line of the Opel KAD (Kapitän/Admiral/Diplomat) lineup. The Admiral was offered as Admiral 2.8S (single carburator), 2.8H (Dual carb)and 2.8 E (Fuel injection) with automatic transmission and power steering. The 2.8l Opel CIH engine a inline 6. Opel's luxurious KAD lineup was canceled due a increased market share of Mercedes-Benz and BMW. Special the introduction of the Mercedes Benz W116 and the oil crisis in 1973 leads to a 90% decrerase of the total production of the KAD line. In 1977 the last of the big Opel rolled of the production line.

Ace-Garageguy Posted October 13 Share Posted October 13 (edited) Hmmmm...I knew what it was, but recalling a tricky maneuver some time ago where something visible in the interior...something like bench seats or buckets IIRC...determined the year or model of the vehicle, and after my research pulled this car up with factory head restraints on the rear seat, and going down the rabbit hole trying to determine what year the rear-seat head restraints started...I forgot all about getting back here in time. Looks like my hesitation was entirely unnecessary, as the entire '69-'77 production is the "right" answer. Oh well.
