Suit up for classic comedy! Peter Venkman (Bill Murray), Ray Stantz (Dan Aykroyd), Egon Spengler (Harold Ramis) and Winston Zeddemore (Ernie Hudson) take a chance on going freelance, de-haunting houses in a new ghost removal service. As soon as they open their doors, their first order of business becomes saving beautiful cellist Dana Barrett (Sigourney Weaver) and nerdy Louis Tully (Rick Moranis), whoâve inadvertently opened the gates of hell⊠right in their own apartment building!

Can not believe someone let that car get in that bad of shape. Seeing it restored makes me happy.
I think the car was always in rough shape like even in the movie(that was the point it was supposed to be all they could afford) and unless you parked it in a climate and humidity controlled storage(very very expensive) it was going to deteriorate.
Hey, Sony let the property get into bad shape in 2016, but it's since been restored too, which also makes me happy.
Hope they will treat it better now
They mean nothing to the studios that own them....until they need them again. The time machine Delorians were in just as bad shape until they were restored, some by collectors, some by the studio. One sat rotting in Universal Studios for years with zero maintenance. Now reproductions are in the parks. The backlot at Disney-MGM Studios in Florida had the full size Snowspeeder from Empire Strikes Back sitting out there until it fell apart completely. I worked there in 1989 and got photos with it before it died.
That almost made me cry to see. Dear God.
I would have lost my sh!t if I was driving along and saw Dan Aykroyd driving Ecto1 next to me.
Who wouldnât
The funny thing, something eerily similar to that happened to me as a kid. Not with Dan Ackroyd at the wheel, but close enough. It was 1998 and I visited the Universal Studios Florida with my father, I was 5 years old. It was already pretty late with it getting darker and we wandered far off the populated areas in search of a toilet. So when we finally found one and my father went in, I was waiting outside in the eerily empty road. When all of a sudden Ecto-1 came charging around the corner all sirens blaring and rushed past me. 5 years old me was completely stunned and of course my father didn't believe me when he came back. Oddly enough, it is about the only thing I can still remember about that trip...
@@dschehutinefer5627 Haha, that is way cool. What a great memory to have.
When I was a kid there was a guy that had one of the original Batman movie cars from the Tim Burton movie. He dressed up as Batman and would drive around sporadically. I thought it was the real batman, everything was movie original including his costume. Every time I saw it I lost my shit.
He drives a stock marauder.....
The fact that Dan Aykroyd has stories for each part and has such a technical knowledge on the Ecto-1 makes me love Ghostbusters even more than I could possibly have imagined! đ
most these good stories are written like that. Harry potter, Lord of the Rings. omg the info behind the lord of the rings, hobbit etc.... star wars. (before disney fed it up). they are great because the nerds can ask whats that and there is an answer. whats this persons background, bam answered, list goes on. casual person like me i dont much care. but i also admire the work they put into it.
And goes to show that a lot more was planned for the franchise but just never happened. Who knows. Afterlife looks to be really amazing from the trailers. Maybe a prequel and flash forward can come in the years ahead.
If Dan hadn't been a world class actor, I could picture him wrenching on classics for the love of it. He has a collection of old ex police and service vehicles stored in an old police precinct building from the 50s. The Ecto would fit perfectly in there.
To whom shall I speak, and give warning, that they may hear? He that has ears to hear, let him hear.
Are you saved? Where will you go when you die? Heaven or hell?
The Gospel, which means the Good News is the news that God Almighty, the Creator came in the flesh as Jesus Christ to take away the sin of the world. The one God is a trinity of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. The Son came and laid down his own life to save ours. His sacrifice on the cross paid the price for our redemption with his own blood. On the third day he rose from dead and offers the gift of salvation and forgiveness to those that repent and trust in him. Although God's creation was created perfect, having no death, sickness and disease, the creation became corrupted through Adam and Eve in them disobeying God. In this rebellion the creation became fallen through the curse of sin and mankind became separated from God. This world is fallen, but God offers reconciliation to him through his provision at the cross. Ultimately God will restore his creation to perfection when he returns but those that who reject his offer of redemption will remain condemned by their sins and go to hell.
John 1:1,14
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and THE WORD WAS GOD. [14] And THE WORD WAS MADE FLESH, and dwelt among us,
1 John 3:8 KJV
He that committeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil.
Isaiah 9:6
For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty GOD, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.
John 1:10
He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and THE WORLD KNEW HIM NOT.
@@jesusisgod2953 pipe down. No one asked.
Dan looked like he was traveling back in time when he drove Ecto-1 it was a priceless moment. It sure looks a lot better than it did in the movie, yet still the same. It still evokes fond memories of a more innocent time. This car needed and deserved to be saved.
My favorite moment driving a big rig was when I saw the BTTF Delorean pass me on I5 in California followed by the Ecto-1. I tapped the air and signaled to light it up. He lit it up and gave the sirens too. I hold that as dear to my heart as getting to see ghostbusters 2 in a drive in. The very last show before they closed.
Many years ago driving through Tunkhannock PA, somebody in front of me had a 60s Batmobile.
Lucky lucky you.
This comment warms my heart
Reading this as a guy brought up in the 80âs and putting myself in this situation put a lump in my throat and a tear in my eye! Iâd have been beside myself with excitement, like a 38 year old kid! Haha
a guy down the street from me had an ecto-1 replica just parked on the streetside like a normal car.
verry cool to be able to look at it up close like that
Rip Egon đ
Dammit, I saw Ramis with that beautiful grey hair and got all weepy. One of the best comedies *ever* ~
Egon, but not forgotten
R.I.P Harold Ramos
@@drift6386 Harold Ramis*
@African Jesus egon. The Ghostbuster who collected spores, fungus and mold as a hobbie.
This crew did an Amazing job restoring an iconic part of movie history. You could tell it was personal, not just another vehicle to them. Then Dan Aykroyd showing up and driving it, that was just perfect!!
Ecto 1 is quite possibly the coolest vehicles ever to grace the silver screen. In my opinion, it beats out the Back to the future Delorean. It may not be as bad-ass as something the Tumbler from The Dark Night, but it's nostalgia and unique personality puts it on top.
Mad Max had a pretty badass car
@@bhargi4692 were talking about one specific car not multiple but yeah I agree
I have it 4th behind the DeLorean, Batmobile, Ninja Turtles van, Ecto 1, Walking Dead Winebego.
â@@michaelr3583 I don't even remember the Ninja Turtles van
Ecto-1 and the Bluesmobile... it's no coincidence that Dan Aykroyd is behind two of the most iconic cars in film history!
I think that the ambulance base is a key part that Feig and Dippold missed out on. I've never seen a hearse using sirens of its own. They should've something like... An 80's van that some small ambulance company turned into a basic life support unit.
Batmobile from 89 Batman
@@mr.smithgnrsmith7808 Can't argue with that!
@@mr.smithgnrsmith7808 Though, there've been so many Batmobiles before and after that most people wouldn't be able to see a random Batmobile pic and distinctly say "That's the 1989 one.".
I thought the same thing
0:57 made me pause for a second, as I was not ready for Harold Ramis coming back from being dead 6 years ago.
This is from the first blu ray release circa 2010.
đ
I'm ready. lol
Yeah, I was shocked too. I didn't expect to see his face in this video!
Harold always delivering a speech with a smile. No matter the subject. Love the man. And Danny, of course.
"People know it's big, but when they first see it, it's honkin' HUGE!"
Amen to that!
The stereo installation department in a store where I used to work had a replica (built on a similar Cadillac) in the installation department. It was so big, the technicians had to park it diagonally to get it in the building. It took over the whole shop until they were finished. I wish I'd had my camera.
I was born in 82, All I wanted when I was a kid growing up was an ecto 1.... and the batmobile...and to hang out with Axel Foley and Mahoney and Hightower. The 80s were the sh*t!.
Wrong slang. That's more modern and never really made sense to use a negative term for a positive feeling. Would be better to say "The 80s were awesome!" They were my teen years and I loved, as well as still love, the music and movies from that era. You name a song or film from then and I more than likely have it in MP3 from.
@@Phaota "GTFOH" - Axel Foley
Derrick Dorsey --- Born in '82? You wouldn't have even realised the 80s was happening until they were over, too young. You definitely didn't watch Beverley Hills Cop in the 1980s, unless your parents were totally fucking irresponsible.
@@Liofa73 not sure what kind of water you drank growing up, but I was very cognizant of what was going on after age 5 and remember early childhood very vividly. Thanks tho, glad you were there. As far as my parents go they were about as responsible as any other parent in the 80s so I'm not sure that's saying much lol. But thanks for trying to tell me what I remember. đ
I was born in 82 also. I wanted an ecto 89 batmobile KITT Airwolf Magnums Ferrari the General Lee and the Coyote from Hardcastle and Mccormick. Man i dreamed so wild and big back then. 80s is probably the best period of my life
This and the delorean has to be the most iconic movie cars of all time
@cowchipsbotme yeah the list would be an awsome car collection if you had a lot of money
A-team van
poor general lee...
The "Christine" 1957 Plymouth Fury is one...
Herbie?
Ecto 1 just oozes happiness and friendliness because of all these smooth shapes that vintage cars had. And the tail-fins are also adding to its retro-futuristic appeal. It really looks like a representative ride with style while being a purpose-car and not just any other standard vehicle. Just perfect for the Ghostbusters.
Magnificent work. To see Dan's look of pure joy is priceless
I think that smile is for even more than the Ecto-1. Dan's been fighting for years to put a proper Ghost Busters sequel out. Only after the complete failure of 2016 is he finally able to do it.
R.I.P Harlod Raims đȘ We will sure miss you..
Not Raims,but Ramis.
SURE!?!?!???!?!? WHY SURE
@@kathseye21 đ
Named our truck Egon he memory of Harold Ramos who had just passed when we bought the truck!
Every time you see him on camera, he always had a smile on his face. Never saw him not smiling. He was one of those people that just made you feel better when you saw him.
Delorean and Ecto 1, two iconic cars.
And KITT. And the General Lee ... oops
The Green Goblin truck from Maximum Overdrive!!!!
Christine!!!
You know what would be hilarious imagine if they made a crossover between Ghostbusters and Back to the Future where dr. Emmett Brown helps to Ghostbusters return to their timeline because something from their timeline is an extradimensional Beast that wants to break the boundaries of Life Death and reality and what makes matters worse is that this Beast was summoned by Alexander tannen who managed to time Jump between universes
Uh... you just watched a video with Dan Aykroyd in it, and you forgot to mention the Bluesmobile...? For shame.
@@ericsantana1184
I would watch that!!!
Dan's amazing knowledge about this particular model of car is one of the highlights of the video.
Dan Aykroyd, man what a legend. My favorite character of his was Roman in the Great Outdoors. Him and John Candy together were comedic gold!
This is the coolest episode of Pimp my Ride that I have ever seen.
i kinda Hate pimp my Ride now since the guy that was sooo saying hell fix your car amd they caught onto his act and he wasnt Really fixing them.
I was born in 1980 and Ghostbusters is the first movie I remember watching as a kid. It was a defining part of my childhood and I was almost obsessed with the franchise. I remember being a Ghostbuster for at least three Halloweens in a row. Thank you Dan Aykroyd for helping make my childhood awesome.
When I see a shop put that much love into a car, I know its going to be something special... It even got Aykroyd's blessing...
This really put a smile on my face as a 40 year old fan of the franchise :)) thank you all who were involved in making this video o/ stay safe and keep up the good work.
When Akroyd test drove it, could you imagine seeing Ecto 1 hard corner and Akroyd is actually at the wheel? I'd lose my shit.
"HEY, YOU CAN'T PARK THAT HERE!"
Can to.
I mean, if you were a mechanic and grew up with those movies, how absolutely cool would this be? Not only to work on the ACTUAL car, but for Dan Aykroyd to come and admire your work? Wow....dying to see the mew movie
Ecto 1 was as much a character in the movie as the main guys. Beautiful work restoring it.
When he said "There hasn't been a ghost sighting for over 30 years" , they definitely want us to forget about 2016 failed attempt at a remake/retelling.
I don't think that was a jab, just that was a different version and this is the original so in this world they were the only Ghostbusters and vice versa.
@Ray Caster Yeah I could see that. I have my problems with the 2016 version for sure but it wasn't all bad. Hemsworth was hilarious but they really only caught like what 2 or 3 ghosts.
@Playford Seven That is certainly the general consensus, I agree for the most part but it does have some moments. For me it's only a little under Ghostbusters 2 which wasn't very good either.
Ranman
My buddy is a diehard GB fan. Both he and I know that GB 2 was a by the books 80âs sequel that took a lot of beats from the original, including a giant entity going for a stroll through town leading up to the final encounter
It still had better visuals, more heart and balanced comedy than anything he saw in 2016âs attempt
Playford Seven
My buddy didnât feel there was much of any âfeminist agendaâ in the 2016 movie. He just thought it was a crap movie because it was badly written, poorly directed and the effects looked like Las Vegas marquee signs came to life and wanted to be bright neon ghosts
Dan's a car guy himself, no surprise he's into the details
Ghostbusters and Ecto 1 are American icons. Good to see Dan enjoying himself. Great job on the car!
I always wanted to have an Ecto as my first car when I was a kid. And that siren sound is iconic. Oh thank you for saving this piece of history.
One of the most Iconic cars to ever hit the silver screen. I love it!
The Ecto-1 is one of my most favourite movie cars beside KITT, Herbie, Christine and the Back to the future delorean time machine
The Ecto-1 just makes me smile and forget problems.
I was born in 1984... God, I love the Ghostbusters.
They got those two together which touched me to the point of tears.
The man and the machine reunited after all those timeless years.
Damn man, the pictures of ecto-1 before they refurbish it just hit me in my heart. Such a sad sight, knowing that car pretty much sat dormant for decades. Ecto-1 and the delorean from back to the Future are two of the most iconic cars from movies to me.
Ahhhh childhood memories!!!! Ecto looks stunning, what a restoration!!! These dudes are seriously talented at what they do! RIP Egon!
As a man seeing this car it brings tears of happiness to my eyes. This car just screams American pop culture. An should always be preserved. It was sad to know the original orca from jaws rotted away to the point they just built a replica. Mr Spielberg used to sit in it all the time he visited universal. Keep icons alive
I always wanted that boat đ
Dan aykroyd strikes me as a very intelligent person,not only a great actor in comedy but the bloke is also a tech wizard
The editing in the 1984 film was so flawless
They made Ecto look better than when it was in the movie. Major props to them.
That's because Ivan Reitman didn't want it to look polished. He wanted it to look like they actually made it themselves.
I'm really surprised that the ecto 1 was in such poor condition you would have thought it would have been kept in museum quality in some billionaires super rare movie car collection as most cars from the silver screen do great to see it been restored Ghostbusters will always have a place in my heart and I cant wait for the new movie release
I know right??? How it got into the wrong hands is beyond me
The delorean from back to the future? It was way worse. You should look that up on here. Happened to most of the batmobiles too. People just dont care
@@pudgeboyardee32 really??? Damn!
There's multiple stories about what happened to the original Orca from Jaws. One has it chopped up by the studio after it was shipped back to Hollywood. Another was it was parked up in one of the theme park rides and forgotten about. By the time they realised that it was the original, it was too far gone to save.
I'm proud to have been growing up in the 80s and 90s
The best time for movies and music and humanity in general
I know they won't see it, but to Sam and his crew, thanks for restoring history with love and attention. It's appreciated. That car and movie are engrained in some our psyche because we watched it growing up.
I'm not a huge fan of ghostbusters by any means but I remember hearing from a friend in the US who actually worked at the place it was stored at for all those years what a sorry state she was in and I know how big those films were and I didn't believe him...
Right up until he emailed me about 5 pictures of 1 and 1A and when I saw what had become of them both honestly cried my heart out, they are such a beautiful pare of historic cars and to see them like that as a petrolhead it really cut me deep and when I first saw how e1 war restored i cried again because she, both of them really, deserve to be preserved for future generations.
Because I truly believe that of all the cars in Hollywood,
Those two are simply the most beautiful out there.
And watching this will always bring a smile to my face
R.I.P. Harold Ramis (Dr. Egon Spengler). I hope a tribute in the new Ghostbusters film (and I hope he has married with Janine after all).
They bring him back as a ghost...ssshhh don't tell anyone.
Janine had the hots for Louis not Spengler.
@@thug4life2005 Yes,but Louis is not fully canonic. The real lore includes the first movie and the TV series.
Spengler uniform, spores molds and fungus on the trailer :>
I'm at a loss for words. Ecto 1 looks better than when I saw it in the movies. What an incredible and detailed job you guys did.
I've been devouring my Haynes Ecto-mobile manual after watching Afterlife to do that version of the car and this video shows things I hadn't noticed before. The window tint for instance, I did not know the side windows had tint. The Afterlife version has the driver's side window tint ripped open wider except for a skinny strip top and bottom. So they really maintained the authentic providence of the car.
I remember what Dan Aykroyd said when I first saw Ghostbusters he was like everybody can relax I found the car any suspensions and shocks and I remember what Bill Murray said how much does this cost Dan was like about 4,800 and I remember the reaction that Bill had on his face
Aside from it's iconic siren that v8 sounds so good!
So good to see the restoration of Ecto 1. Such a classic and iconic car
Pure heart. đ They just don't have actors like that group, or movies like this, they just aren't there anymore. It was awesome to see Ecto 1 looking so good and back out on the streets, and could not have been more perfect with Dan Aykroyd behind the wheel in this video. Absolutely perfect.
The Ecto-1 is a gorgeous beauty! Timeless
I remember when I worked at Sony and one of the Ecto-1s was rotting on the lot next to a bunch of other cars. At one point, they had to move it by pushing it. Even if it wasn't in a movie, a '59 Cadillac, especially a professional car conversion, would be really valuable.
Thatâs the ecto 1a, it was in ghostbusters 2
@@RealJoePool not sure about that, 1a was kept in better condition, it's the car they're using for Afterlife.
@@MephProduction the ecto 1a was put on display for universal and then when it was damaged by staff/park visitors it was put into a Sony backlot, the story he tells seems to match up
@@RealJoePool maybe, both cars got refurbished
@@MephProduction ecto 1a never got referbished, it was planned to be but was used for parts for the original ecto and then was left to rot again, it was then repurposed to be a copy of the original ecto for use in afterlife
You could see it in his face and hear it in his voice as he gave her the beans and she started walkin' and talkin', Dan was a happy man.
"Aw, yeah, they got it runnin' *good* ."
Immagine being out for a walk and seeing Dan out on a leisurely cruise in ECTO-1!!!!!!
Ecto-1, DeLorean and K.I.T.T., my personal iconic favorites. :) Ecto _needs_ to be preserved, now.
im really love Those Iconic car the Delorean and ecto 1/ Kitt /Herbie is my Favorite to watch :)
For me itâs
Ecto 1
Delorean
The Ferrari From Ferris Bueller
The 1966 Batmobile
The General Lee...
General Lee, Bandit Trans Am, Kitt, Ecto 1.
Interesting the 1966 Batmobile was a thing of beauty.
Great memories of my childhood . One of my favorite movies ever ! The car looks probably better than when the movie was recorded!
One of ?! This is number 1 easily...for me it is
Me and my boys have a picture taken with Ecto 1. They were to small to know what was going on but I was in tears being near it. Truly an amazing car and piece of history .
To the people that made it all happen, Thankyou for everything you do.
Can't wait for Ghostbusters 3 and to take my little boy to the cinema with me. Great job on the car.
The game is Ghostbusters 3, though.
Technicaly Ghostbusters 4(there was a second ghostbusters movie after the first one that was unknown but it was real) And it is Ghostubsters Afterlife, I am so excited since my dad and I watched the orignal so this seems promising
@@K_B_C Ghostbusters II is unknown??
@@GabePuratekuta yes
@@K_B_C I'm not sure where you got that idea from. It's the first I've heard of Ghostbusters II being unknown. What's your basis for this assumption?
This video is from ca 2011. Please date it n the description!
I love Ghostbusters 1984 & 1989 so much... and from what I have read many people connect amazing childhood memories with it just like me. I've just bought the game on steam and hopefully I will love it and same with the new movie.
Keeping the magic alive for the fans and history is a special kind of magic! Fans all over the world thank you. There has been cinema history lost to the sands of time and itâs disheartening. So glad to see this updated to show fans of a new generation
After watching this video I was a changed man, before I just thought âthe ghostbusterâs car, itâs cool I guessâ but now I can really appreciate it, I would probably pass out if I ever saw it irl and it is one of the reasons I believe the 80âs were the coolest time to be alive
ghostbusters was a legend, r.i.p Harold Ramis
I love how smart Akroyd is!
My Two Favorit Movie-Cars: Ecto1 & The Bluesmobile
Dan Aykroyd: Driveâs Both
Do i have to say more?đ
I just saw this parked at a shop in Santa Monica this week. It's so freaking cool
When he brought it in: Everybody can relax, I found the car. Needs some suspension work and shocks, and brakes, brake pads, lining, steering box, transmission, rear-end, also new rings, mufflers, a little wiring...
Good thing Ray was a capable mechanic ;)
It's crazy how Ecto used to just be an every day thing at Universal you could take pictures with, god, I need to find my old pics as a kid
Your soul is 80ÂŽs and you donÂŽt forget ....ever ....you are the big movies Slimer!!
Took my son to a video game/toy/comic show. Ecto-1 and the BTTF Delorean were there. He and I just stood there and stared at them, in awe. Hard to tell who was more excited, probably me as I have over 3 decades of love for them, but it was defiantly comparable. Sharing that moment with him, well Iâll never forget it. They are just movie props, yet they instill so many feelings in us.
Rest in Heaven Harold Ramis "egon"
I don't know why this video popped up but I'm sure as hell glad it did. How sweet is that and Dan Aykroyd too. Priceless!!!!
It must be like seeing a really old friend... Ghostbusters was released not long after I was born and I LOVED it as a kid. Still do as an adult.. First time I saw ECTO I was like "THAT IS SO FREAKING AWESOME!" and her siren is so unique! After seeing the trailer - I really feel that it's going to be amazing! If they make more movies I only ask that they don't get rid of ECTO-1 and keep her as original as possible. ECTO-1 is one of the main characters of the Ghostbusters!
Almost in tears watching this restoration! Love echo-1.
I love that he pulled into the fire lane at the end. It was just fitting.
Just finding this video, as I was looking to add a 1/6 Ecto-1 to my collection. I was 18 and just joined the Military when the original movie came out. I was in the audio/visual field and after training ended daily, i would work at the base theater as the film projectionist (technical term for the guy who loaded each reel as the movie progressed, GB had 6-8 as i remember) and Ghost Busters (in 1984) was the first film i worked. I would sit in the projection room hour after hour and night after night and it never got old watching the movie. It stayed in the base theater for many weeks. Glad to see the car got restored and glad to see a glimpse of Harold. Thanks for sharing!
11:11 Dan is a car guy. You can tell by how he closes that door. It cuts away but you can tell he is gonna "push" it closed as opposed to slamming it closed
absolutely stunning job, such a gorgeous and classic machine
Aykroyd is a true car guy, everything he rattled off about the bluesmobile was accurate to a police package 74 mopar (including the big block police package cars being the last year without cat converters).
Is it wrong that I choked up when Dan saw it unveiled.? It is a piece of my youth! Not long after this movie was out I joined the military and went to perpetual war in the middle east for decades. This equates to that feeling I had as a young teen with popcorn and a girl by my side........before the evil and Cynical nature of Humanity took that away. Good stuff. It makes it all worthwhile in the end, strange how something so basic can take you to a time of good, and bring that feeling that washes over you. Thanks for this!
Makes me want to cry seeing the car so neglected and banged up in the beginning of this video but they did a beautiful job restoring it
Now I feel old đ I remember my dad taking me to watch the first ghostbusters. I jumped at the librarian ghost đ I miss them days
Iconic, timeless and a fantastic restoration with a classic performer/creator visiting for the finished product. Thank you for a magnificent job by all involved.

Seeing my childhood memories refurbished and made new again almost brings a tear to my eye!!!
Ecto 1 is beautiful, the 1959 Cadillac has always been my favorite automobile! She is as beautiful as George Barris' Batmobile!
God I miss the old Ghostbusters movies. That was the bomb.
I have always wanted to know and wondered where did the siren for Ecto-1 come from? It's so iconic.
So cool seeing it restored, and Dan driving it brings back good memories.
Absolutely stunning work. Iâm blown away by how amazing and new that old Cadillac looks. I was 11 when that movie originally came out and itâs definitely up there with my favourite movies of all time. Iâd love to see Ecto in the UK if it ever comes here. Beautiful work.
Great work.
Dan is a legend. One of the all time greats.
This is one of my fave cars, period. OG Ghostbusters are the best. I really hope the new one is half as good.
That car and that cast was a big part of my childhood. It showed me what was possible and could be possible for my future. I went into computer repair in 1992. I was only 13 at that time and I learned a lot. That car I study every part of it when I was younger and forgot everything mostly about it when I was older. But the impression of that car still up to this day I think about it. Now I see it being restored 3 years old feel like today it was being restored. Great Job restoring the car.
It was my favorite movie. I think I was 8 years old when it came out. Thank you very much for restoring Ecto 1. Almost made me cry when I saw the first photos of it almost falling apart.
Two things, I used to daily drive a 1960 hearse, once you're used to them, you can drive just like any other car. People used to be amazed how quick I could swing it in a parking spot. Second, any idea what siren they used? Ok three things. Third, how tall is Dan akroyd? That car is huge and it might be camera angle but he looks like he's towering over it.
Guy's this does means a lot to us fans! Good job and thank you!
I got to meet Dan in 2002 in McCaran Airport in Vegas⊠it was a funny five minutesâŠ. I was mobilized to the airport with the National Guard, he asked me about the M-4 and we talked about it mostly. He seemed like a down to earth, nice guy.
The white and red paint looks much better than what they originally thought to paint it I thought it was a ambulance is it a 390 Caddy V8 OR a 365 Caddy V8 engine under the hood that car is super awesome thanks for refurbishing it for us Fan's
