A Milodon oil pan, Magnum manifolds, and a dual exhaust system were installed. Cooling is improved by a four-core aluminum radiator and electric fan. Aluminum accessory-drive brackets and pulleys were added. The 904 TorqueFlite three-speed automatic was swapped for a heavier-duty 727 TorqueFlite. A 2.73:1-geared rear axle was replaced with an 8¾-inch Sure-Grip rear end with 3.55:1 gears. According to the fender tag, this Plymouth was factory painted in code-FJ6, Go Green Sassy Grass Green. The included fender tag breakdown lists the color as Go Green; the Dodge name for code-FJ6 is Sassy Grass Green. During the restoration, the body was repainted in Sassy Grass Green.
