The original release of
Duel featured a 1970 model with a
318 V-8 engine[12] and "Plymouth" spelled out in block letters across the hood (which was covered with aluminum foil to mask the "Plymouth" name from view), as well as trunk lid treatment characteristic of the 1970 model; a 1971 model with a 225
Slant Six was also used.
