Ghostbusters 1959 Cadillac Ambulance

[robloxfan3211]

ecto-2? ecto-2! you mean ecto-1A from ghost busters 2 common mistake ecto-2 is the helicopter from the series the real ghost busters

George Barris must suffer from dementia. For some reason he thinks he was the sole designer and fabricator on every car that ever became popular in a feature film or Television show. Even the neat ones that he did have a hand in (the 1966 Batmobile and the Munsters Koach) were designed and built by other people. Why must he take credit for other people's work?

[porsche228]

is that a porsche 917 i see in the back ???

[groschopf]

You can read and see a bit more about the creator of this replica, Peter Mosen, by Googling the following:

"July 1989 Car Craft mag replica Ecto-1 article".

Barris's claims are demonstrably false, and the GBfans thread that links to definitively proves as much. My apologies for being so pedantic on the subject, but Barris drives me up a wall for taking credit for things he ought not to.

Apologies for being pedantic, but Barris drives me up a wall. His claims are demonstrably false.

[darkhusky88]

Hes such a bad liar. Anyone who believe this guy is an idiot.

Note how he says "unique electronic variable speeds" when referring to the ghostbusting equipment inside the car. He has no idea what hes talking about.

[beasst94]

[sabrefirefighter]

[joshuabrooks21]

What I wouldn't give to take a ride in this unforgettable classic....Of course, I'd be a smartass and bust a few people I live with. Just Kidding!

[Kregermeister]

George Barris is fucking scum.

[weasel884]

id rather die in that than a ford econoline ambulance!

[GamertagRacer5353]

where is this????

[ilikethecoke]

Where's all the gear on the roof?

[joker9206]

the Ecto 1 car is sooo cool

[herbienbrian]

0:02 holy shit!!! the Lazer 917 from Herbie goes to Montey Carlo!!!!!!!!!!

[Sniffeh]

From what I have read this douche bag didn't make 1 car he claims he made, even the Batmobile. He just sold the car to the guys that turned it into the Batmobile.

[Sniffeh]

"This ones autographed by all the actors"

I guess according to this guy, Ernie Hudson played all the characters in Ghostbusters.

Not to mention any true GB fan can tell a fake Ecto-1. The front of that cat looks nothing like the real deal.

really bad liar

[TheMovieSlasher]

@Sniffeh yeah man considering they only used 1 Ecto for the movie =) and that was refurbished by Sony etc =P

[sgtpepper1138]

Typical Barris, lying through his teeth. He DID NOT build ECTO 1, it's insane that he made up all these "stories" *arm over shoulder of the other guy* "yup when we designed ECTA, BLAH BLAH BLAH"

[bttfspencer]

@sgtpepper1138

NO, not ECTO. ECTA-1 & ECTA-2! :D

[CosmicGrooves]

You showed the lamest autograph! Where is Bill Murry, Dan Aykroyd, Harold Ramis, Sigourney Weaver or even Rick Moranis?

[puppetmaster983]

@CosmicGrooves Winston isn't lame!

[CosmicGrooves]

haha! :D

[puppetmaster983]

...?

[Sniffeh]

Winston's cool but hes what they call an "Incidental Character"

[dirtypillow27]

very cool!!

[smellytoilet1996]

Those assholes r just talkin bullshit and jawin

[UbiquitousGeek]

Drunken old hillbillies...

[optionen100]

who ya gonna call?

[Smacco90]

I love Ecto 1 !!!!!

[bttfspencer]

@Smacco90 Nonononononononononono

Its ECTA 1.

[bttfspencer]

he is SUCH a liar.

[lovehalo3bungie]

LOL ECTO 1 and K.I.T.T

[UBIQUEROL]

and the Ferrari Daytona from Miami Vice

[JBell06]

I will give him this, there was two cars that were used in the first Ghostbusters movie, but the two cars were the ambulance that makes that one appearance early on in the film and then the actual Ecto itself, there was only one actual Ecto(listen to the dvd commentary and they mention how they only had one Ecto 1).

It's a nice replica, but it ain't the real car. The real car is on tour promoting the game and other GB stuff

[911caddy]

I'm fairly certain that clip you speak of in the first GB 's where you see this Pro Car pulling up to the old fire station. Before she's converted in to the Ecto unit. She was actually a "combination car" not a straight Ambulance. A combo is a hearse /ambulance. A unit that serves both purposes in one vehicle that would have been operated by a funeral home.

A shame she wasn't converted back to her original look.

[sgtpepper1138]

@JBell06 there is also ecto 1a from part 2 with all the lighted signs

hopefully they restore that one someday as well.

[JBell06]

Also, it seems to me that he's calling the car Ecta 1, not Ecto

[JBell06]

You can honest to God tell it's not one of the film Ecto's seeing that the No Ghost logos that are on the back door, driver's side door and passenger's side door are a bit too small, I do believe those were bigger.

This guy needs to have a cease and dissit order filed against him for his claims about Ecto just like they did to him with the Back to The Future delorean.

[sgtpepper1138]

@JBell06 yes, I have an after restoration pic as my wallpaper, and it's just of the rear door, and the no ghost is MUCH bigger, almost to the window chrome

[themeddleman]

Yeah, we've seen it, too. Been in and out of this place twice. Anyone here at this museum is paid to tell you that it is on loan from the studios, etc.

[youfermont]

This guy is such a liar. This is a promotion replica that was never used in any movie. He talk like he was the one who build it. He was not involved at all in the construction of the 2 original ecto-1 and the original ecto 1-A. Just like the BTTF DeLorean, he take credit for the works of others. Don't visit this museum, it's all fraud.

[AutumnGracy]

It would be SO awesome to hijack this car and drive it into the middle of times square. Could you imagine peoples faces?! XD

[CadillacLover4Life]

I actually just got back from taking a picture in this car!

[jonadam1975]

I went to this museum in april of this year. This is located in Gatlinburg tn. My jaw dropped when I saw ecto-1. This, besides herbie and the bttf delorian is one of my most favorite movie vehicles.

[soflabob]

Actually it was ECTO 1A, not Ecto 2 :)

[jammer96]

One of my favorite cars! Beautiful and cool at the same time.

[Cornwiggle]

The red coupe thing at the very beginning is the rival from Herbie goes to Monte Carlo. :-!
