The car is finished in Pale Primrose Yellow, and equipment includes bonnet louvers, chrome bumpers with overriders, factory tinted glass, front mud flaps, and polished stainless steel exhaust tips. In August 2021, dents were removed from the bonnet and it was subsequently refinished.

The 5.3-liter V12 is equipped with four Zenith-Stromberg carburetors that were rebuilt and fitted with new fuel lines, bowl plugs, and custom K&N air filters. Additional equipment includes powder coated valve covers, intake manifolds, and air trumpets, a custom cooling fan with manual switches, an aluminum radiator, an SNG Barrat ignition system with NGK spark plugs and Magnecor wires, a high-torque starter, an 80-amp alternator, and a custom exhaust system with Bell stainless steel downpipes and custom stainless steel powder coated bullet mufflers.
