There is no reason to post this except it is a really cool picture:

Yes, that is the ACTUAL semi and the ACTUAL car from the movie Duel.

It would be an even more cool picture if a pair of boots were pictured below the other side of the tractor or trailer.

I doubt it but the cost of tea in China might be affected.

I thought the semi went over a cliff and exploded. You can't trust anything that comes out of Hollywood!

There were two semis (plus a third, a different model, used filming added scenes later) and three Valiants. One Valiant went off the cliff, one was wrecked crashing into a boulder. I recall the semi that went off the cliff was a hulk, a rolling shell gotten from a junkyard.
