The Lurcher is remarkably different than the Buccaneer stock model. Again, the stock wheels are similar to the 'Dukes' rims available in Los Santos Customs, with the wheel color receiving a darker tone.
The vehicle is only painted with a single color for the bodywork and the interior stitching. Its appearance is similar to that of Boris Karloff's portrayal of Frankenstein's monster from the 1931 film Frankenstein. The car uniquely features a partially open coffin in the rear compartment, containing what appears to be a mannequin wearing a damaged black suit and a Pale Frank mask, and is looking out of the coffin with its right arm extended, pointing out of the vehicle's rear window to other drivers and general onlookers behind it. The rear lights and outer edges appear to be similar to the ones on the Emperor.
The car retains most of the features from the standard model, being the split grille, stacked headlights, fenders, and the chrome details at the bottom and around the windows, while the rest of the car assumes the same soft top, rear compartment doors with curtain textures on it, and the ornaments derived from the Romero Hearse. The Lurcher is essentially a hearse built upon the chassis of a Buccaneer, and is heavily based on the ' Kargoyle', a modified hearse built from a 1967 Cadillac Miller-Meteor Funeral Coach, designed by George Barris.
