Yeah, but I can't remember the name of the movie. I know it's one where Dennis Weaver was driving the Valiant (right?) and getting chased by the nameless/faceless truck driver.

Glad to see the old rig has a good home and didn't meet the junkyard crew.

Bingo, it was called Duel... ... .

Trucker chases Weaver. That's the whole plot. I haven't seen it for years, but remember that it was pretty cool in its day. Worth renting if you can find it. Beer and popcorn would be a bonus!

"Duel" was Spielberg's first Movie. It was kind of dumb, I thought, but scary if you were afraid of Big Trucks running you over!

Man that was a great movie,I would love to own that even had the old duplex transmission. . WOW



Man it is to bad they had to replace the original engine,be nice to keep it authentic.

I list "Duel" as one of my all time favorite movies!

Gary,I remember seeing that truck in george's yard back in 93' when I bought a Silver 92 Detroit off him for my Freightliner. That thing is cool!

Mark T, it's a great movie (yeah, old, but still... )! It was written by the King of Horror himself, Stephen King. Not a lot of dialogue, lotsa suspense. One of the top car movies for sure!

Imagine driving down the freeway today and having him come up behind you
