The engine fires at the turn of the key. A steering shaft has also been replaced as part of recent service. Behind the V8 is an automatic transmission, with power routed to a rear axle running 3.00 gears a relaxed ratio better suited to highway cruising than stoplight acceleration.The chassis retains its factory-style drum brakes at all four corners, in keeping with how the car left the factory.
