The car features fiberglass bodywork mounted over a shortened Volkswagen Beetle chassis, and the seller states that the body was painted Porsche-specification Seal Grey Metallic.

The staggered-width wheels were reportedly sourced from a Porsche 356, finished in gold, and mounted with Bridgestone Potenza EL4000 tires. Braking is through four-wheel discs. The car rides on Koni and adjustable KYB shocks in the front and rear, respectively. A set of spare wheels and hubcaps will accompany the vehicle.
The cabin houses bucket seats trimmed in red upholstery with a color-coordinated dashboard top and door panels. Square-weave salt-and-pepper carpets and Coco mats line the floors, and equipment includes a fire extinguisher, a Vintage Speed short-throw shifter, sisal mats, a Bluetooth-capable digital push-button radio, a dashboard-mounted rear-view mirror, and Crow Enterprizes latch-and-link belts for both occupants.
The ivory-color banjo-style steering wheel frames a vintage-style 6k-rpm tachometer, a 120-mph speedometer, and a combination gauge. The six-digit odometer shows approximately 4k miles, all of which have been added by the seller. Total chassis mileage is unknown.
The 1,915cc flat-four was reportedly built by Jeff Shean of Dirty Garage Speed Shop of Paramount, California, and is equipped with dual Weber 48 IDA carburetors that are said to be Italian-made. The firewall has been covered in red upholstery, and additional engine features are said to include Mofoco cylinder heads, an Eagle 120 camshaft, SCAT rockers, stainless-steel braided fuel lines, a custom exhaust system, and dual electric fans in the underside of the decklid.
Power is sent to the rear wheels via a Freeway Flyer four-speed manual transaxle. Additional underbody photos are provided in the gallery below.
