- Ghostbusters fans have been making replicas of props and costumes from the film for decades. But not many people have taken on building their own Ecto-1 replica. We meet Sean Bishop, who has built a highly-detailed reproduction of the iconic car, both outside and in!

Thanks for watching! - Věda a technologie
Hey everyone. Sean here. I'm the Chewbacca/Jack Black/Lebowski/Aykroyd/hybrid dude who built the car. I'm glad so many of you like the beautiful "Janine". I saw a few repeated questions so I thought I'd answer them as best I can. Yes the lights work, yes the siren works, (external speakers in the light bars). Yes I have the sniffer, but I never drive on the freeway with it. You can see it laying on it's side in the back in a few shots. I hadn't had a chance to put it up and had no idea I was gonna be on camera, (hence the wind-blown rat's nest of hair). Yes I do have a gurney and yes it's got four working proton packs on it but I took it out so the people at the party could get a good look at the finished interior. It was also a thousand degrees in LA that day. We were all red and ragged out. The Ecto has no AC. ;)
venkman71 thanks for the reply to these questions. Killer work man. Love it!
So you ecto is named "Janine"?
Now that's a familiar username, I think! I think one of the first things I did when getting the Internet in the 90's was look for Ghostbusters III rumors and find Ghostbusters fan sites. Didn't you have some sites/prop sites?
Anyway...
After spending so much time on the small details of the car, and obsessing over all the details, did you ever develop a good theory on just *WHAT* some of that stuff on the roof rack was supposed to really be?
Great car only thing wrong is that it has no grill strobes on it :)
Love how proude and passionate the owners are about there creations.
+
i thought you said Prude and Passionate at first lol
agreed. this guy is great
proud* their*
Anybody *want *a peanut.
Wow, this guy is genuine - ghostbusters was one of my favorites growing up and this thing is badass - same enthusiasm that Dan Aykroyd had when he came in with the old ambulance in the original film
First like and comment in 4 years 2020?
YEAH GHOSTBUSTERS IS ASWOME
Lol the Pizza Planet truck and the Jurassic Park SUV
I really like this guy. So genuine.
Agreed. It actually gave me goosebumps ^^
Passion is beautiful.
"I may have been the first one to have done it so far, but there will be others. And they'll do wonderful mods on it, it'll be great!"
Sean is an amazing guy, he's so nice and he actually used to own one of the best Back to the future DeLorean time machine's I had ever seen.
+eTech16 he called him Bill at the end, so which is it? Sean or Bill?
he was lucky enough to get reference photos from the original car. This is got to be the most spot-on replicas on the road. it looks awesome
I was just thinking nobody does the interior, show the interior! Would have liked to have seen the front seat and dash.
Yeah we don't see it in the movie.
+diator2 didn't you watch the video? The guy and his friend were able to take photos of the entire original prop.
nope
+diator2 watch it before you say something.
Its not like the front of the car is a state secret or anything super important.
Just saw the ghosthead documentary on Netflix and was amazed by the effort the community put into their stuff. Love replicas of movie cars, and this one is a beauty!
Thank you for doing a piece on Sean's Ecto! I've known him for about 4 years on Facebook, he is a really fantastic guy to talk with.
💚
Best replica I've ever seen, bar none. Even finding the correct car is a next to impossible task today. Kudos to the builder on a job well done!
Wow what a cool replica, thanks for putting in all those man hours to make this so authentic. I'm a BIG Ghostbusters Fan and this brought back so many memories of
seeing the first film in 84. Who Ya Gonna Call? This guy ;)
digging the Jurassic park explorer and toy story truck in the back ground..
A great build. Its so amazing that someone have the knowledge and skills to make a copy of the real thing. Have a great weekend
He put down a ~$10k bid and forgot about it... Wow, must be loaded
and he didnt turn on the sirens?! awe
Right?!
Is this the dude I know?
Funny finding your here Mr. Pollock. hahaha
Disney Infinity Codes HaHa! Yeah, I'm a Tested loyalist!
Totally waited for that to happen....
It’s so cool knowing there are many awesome looking ecto-1s out there right now
Wow! That replica of the ecto 1 is AWESOME!
Only thing missing: Rack full of Proton Packs and Ghost Traps. But hey, what a build! Truly a labor of love!
That is absolutely beautiful, what a work of art, a truly amazing labour of love
I love the passion these guys have. ducking contagious. . why won't my phone let me swear?!?!!?!?!?
I was just looking at videos of ecto1 replicas yesterday! Crazy coincidence! :) ty tested!
awesome replica, one thing I was hoping to hear and see is the lights and sirens but that is probably the kid in me wanting it.
Amazing,this man put a lot of love and labor hours in this replica and it shows
Wow you guys are using some great mics! It picks up ambient noise so well! (Sarcasm)
Got to meet Sean and sit in that car a few years back. So awesome! Then I got to see the original movie car about two years later and sit in that car!
Wonderful, just a lovely job on the replica, kudos to Bill! The only thing I see he could add to it is to see if the backpacks and gear they used fit in there.
You know this guy loves this car because he said he wanted to see what others would do differently.
This guy should cosplay as The Dude.
Amazing work, thanks for sharing!
Awesome stuff, Sean!
Ya I was like: Woah
Norm, this was a great interview, good job!!
THIS IS INSANE!!!!!! I think I seen this same Ecto-1 at the Philadelphia Auto Show not long ago. If so, that was the same guy beside it. Cool!! Great work man. WOW
ABSOLUTLY STUNNING! Other than the original, this has to be the most accurate
WOW, absolutely FANTASTIC 😍😍😍
Now all we need is a Ecto-1b!
The definition of dedication
awesome job Shawn.
Looks awesome!! Missing a few bits on the roof and the fins don't look the right colour, but always loving an Ecto replica!!!
Awesome interview. The guy did a sweet Ecto-1 :D
Didn't know there were any more of these rare coaches left to make into replicas
wow 12yrs ! gotta give props to the guy .
Noice!
That's cool people are starting to help each other with their project builds.
Great to see The Dude got a passionate hobby
I love the Pizza Planet truck in the background I really hope we get a video on that!!
Wow what an inspiration,
Fantastic achievement
I like this guy, just seems like a happy & cool dude.
Just realized Sean Bishop worked on restoring the BTTF A Car
Had a Ghostbusters day yesterday with the two movies and a few hours of the Ghostbusters: The Video Game from 2009, haven't seen those movies in like 10 years so it was nice to see that at least one of them stood the test of time, the game is great too, way more interesting than the second movie for sure.
Having just seen the movies it is really cool to see a replica up close like this, that said where's the proton pack rack?
That's cool.:D Really liked the Jurassic Park car in the back as well.:D
way to go Sean! beautiful car!
What the hell is the camera man doing, does he need to pee or what's with the constant moving around? This can't be Joey, right?
And the black, empty part at the end.
been sippin the spiked punch
All this shakey-cam stuff drives me up the wall because it's in EVERYTHING now. Get a tripod or steadicam.
Came here to say this... haha. It was a rough camera experience. Maybe they were too busy looking at how gorgeous the car was? haha
They could use a MoVI M10
Thanks to Sean Bishop for building the Ecto-1 and helping restore the BTTF "A" car! One thing to note though is that it is missing the red double barrel turret thingy on the roof rack.
Probably needed some suspension work and shocks. Brakes, brake pads, lining, steering box, transmission, rear-end. Also new rings, mufflers, a little wiring...
Well done that man!
Awesome replica! That must be a lot of fun to drive around and I can only wonder at all the smiles that people must have when they see it. Watched the original movie and then went and saw the reboot yesterday. The reboot is actually pretty good and I would go see it again. Just my 2 cents.
Who would of thought Jack blacks brother is into Ghostbusters!
LOL
Two-Face looks and sounds like him doesn't he 😊
The Dude and Jack Black's love baby!
i saw this thing driving in san diego today. its pretty awesome!
The roof instruments need to be added and finished, but overall it looks about 95% completed. Nice job!
0:57 - The early 1000's? Holy crap, this guy was like, screw those crusades, I'm going to build me a prop for a movie that's going to be all the rage some 9 and three quarters century from now!
he did actually say 2000s
That's credible. I liked that the new Ecto is still 30 years backdated, but there's absolutely no beating the OG. For me, hearing the original siren, has a distinction, like hearing certain actor's delivery.
now THIS is mother fucking ghost busters!!!!
As A guy that loves to restore classic cars (owning 3) and an extreme lover of Ghostbusters, I really want to build an Ecto-1 or 1A. I NEED to snag one of these before they're all gone or overpriced.
What a absolutly amazing Vehicle. I love Movie-Cars
Wow he even sounds like Dan Aykroyd!
Four most iconic vehicles in movie and TV history Munsters car, Batman RV series car, BTTF DeLorian, Ecto 1.
Awesome!
Well done
What an ideal person to interview
I have always wanted to make a replica Ecto-1, or at least a new reincarnation of it. I even had everything planned out. But now I feel like I would be ashamed to do it after what happened to the franchise. Either way, this man is incredible and props to him for creating this incredible replica.
That is beautiful
what a cool interesting guy thanks norm
what happend to the martian build?
What an awesome dude.
ahh that times when i was 12 and my older brother took to the cinema on ghost busters
The pizza planet truck in the back!! So neat!
There was a time I used to sneak on Sony lot and smoke J's releasing spirits in both echo 1 and echo 2 real cars but that was about 15-20 years
hes also one of the guys that help to restore the original A car delorean time machine
All I wanted to hear and see was the sirens. : (
Didnt we all. There was just something about Ecto 1's siren that added to Ghostbusters 1
Same!!! Besides the car and it's decals and interior gadgets, the most pronounced thing was the siren!!
Even the one in Burnout Paradise had the siren
That's not the real siren though. The real siren (in the movie) was just added in post-production.
that film is a pack of lies, some of the ghosts are fake too.
You weren't just driving south on I-49 through Fayetteville, AR on Wed, May 8, 2019, towing this behind a Prevost motorcoach, were you?
Those Caddy Hearse's are fricken RARE, thats why nobody else has tried.
Though Miller-Meteor made hearses on that frame too, the '59 Caddy used for the Ecto-1 was an ambulance chassis.
FancyCat ah forgive my ignorance
Also nice van from jurrasic park! But Real Star is Ecto 1 ofc...
the one thing we all want... the siren! WAHHHH WAHHHHH WAHHHH WAHHHH... haha
Mick Foley (Mankind) has joined the Ghostbusters!
Epic car, cool guy. I'm a lil bit jelly. Wish I had a Miller Meteor, Ecto'd or otherwise.
I'm so jealous, Sean built my dream car
Ecto 1 awesome now I like ghostbusters they are awesome
what a really cool guy
It is missing the roof dish witb the two red tubes coming off it and the micro white strobe light on the front bumper.
Very cool. Does he know he's missing the sniffer?
Nice job! Need polish the haze off the light bar!
Awesome
Oh, look! The REAL Ecto-1.
The only Ecto-1
The Infamous Cloaker Videos Amen.
+The Infamous Cloaker “Zokorar” Videos what about ecto1 a?
Oh, look! A real prick.
+6102livesipmurt Thanks for drawing attention to yourself. You are so mundane, we would never have noticed you.
it needs the retractable proton pack carriage from GB2. but then I wonder would the instruments in the back be "accessible"? either way! his instruments are artistic interpretation and the pack carriage is cannon! all that said, seriously that is a very cool ride!!
I wonder if this is the same one always parked at the caddilac repair shop in Santa Monica.
How did they not fire up the sirens? :(
So jealous!!!
I remember seeing that car on eBay and when he won it!
Nice to see a builder without a toupe, or combover hair for a change........
Ok, this guy is the human Chewbacca. I can't be the only one that sees it.
Dan Akroied has Ecto One. Its on Jay Lenos channel.
