The car is powered by a 425ci Buick nailhead V8 linked with a TH400 automatic transmission and a Ford 9″ rear axle, and it rides on a dropped front I-beam axle, hairpin radius rods, and a transverse front leaf spring, along with rear radius rods, buggy springs, and shocks.

The steel body was modified under prior ownership in the style of a sedan delivery and refinished in black with insecticide-inspired gold “Black Flag” door decals and “Kills Bugs Dead” rear lettering. Further elements include a top-hinged rear tailgate, a 1932 Ford-style grille shell, green cowl lights, a tilt-out windshield, a green-tinted plexiglass roof panel and side windows, and an oak roof frame with steel shims. Close-up photos of the paint and bodywork are provided in the gallery.

The vehicle rides on a 2×4″ steel box-tube frame with a Super Bell dropped front I-beam axle, hairpin radius rods, a transverse front leaf spring, front shocks, a steering damper, and rear radius rods paired with buggy springs and shocks. Braking is handled by front discs and rear drums.

The cabin features a Dodge Caravan-sourced bench seat upholstered in burgundy vinyl, and further elements consist of expanded metal interior side panels, a wood-slat rear cargo floor, a Hurst pistol-grip shifter, and a wooden rear seat.
