I just realized... if Duel were to be [needlessly] remade, I think an excellent choice for the protagonist's car would be an early model Dodge Journey with the 2.4L... it's a Mopar, depressingly basic and outdated, and under-powered. A decent successor to Mann's base model Valiant. The standard Chrysler dark red from the era would be fine, IMO.

For the semi, I mean, sure, pretty much the same old Peterbilt could work, but I'm thinking maybe something along the lines of a Kenworth T2000... but really dirty/dusty. Hell, the oldest T2000s are almost 25 years old now; the Pete in the original Duel was only 16 years old.

#1, Nitpicking, but Mann's Valiant isn't quite a poverty pack, it's gussied up with the exterior decor group, deluxe two-toned vinyl interior, and 1971-only Deluxe wheelcovers.

It also manages to magically transform in a 1970 model with V8 badges on the fenders during scenes where it has to be driven hard, and a 1972 with chrome tape on the trunk lid imitating the 1971 decor trunk trim in certain scenes as well.

#1, As for the truck, an International LoneStar has a suitably sinister appearance, and the oldest ones are about old enough now. Only problem is that they're inherently fancy trucks, and it's hard to find them in "beater" condition hauling fuel tankers.

#2, Are some of those inconsistencies in the scenes that were added *after* the fact to extend the run time for foreign theatrical release?

#1, I'd go with a Dodge Avenger SXT in Sunburst Orange or Mango Tango pearl with either the 2.4L or the 3.5.
I think a Peterbilt 379 could be made sufficiently sinister looking to pull off the bad-guy role.

#4, Yep. The 1972 model was used in the "new" scenes, which were shot about five years after the rest of the movie.

#6, I thought the extra scenes were filmed just one year later in 1972?

#5, I think this pairing works best. How bout a Caliber, or would a hubcapped Avenger suffice?

#7, Apparently so. I was under the impression that the overseas release was in 1976, for some reason.
