that must be the backlot of Sony where the car sat to rot and die for many many years before a professional company restored the car, which can be seen on the Ghostbusters video game or the anniversary dvd set of the movies.
They were going to make a GB3 back in 1999, however SONY (Parent company of Columbia), scrapped the project due to concerns it wouldn't make enough money in the box office.
Which do you think is the coolest movie theme car in movie history? For me, it's a toss up between the Ecto-1 (or 1a) and the Back to the Future Delorean. Anyone else agree?
This is the real car. It is not the Ecto-1a.. and it is not the one used in some convention parade. It is sitting there at Sony Archives parking lot. Its not that hard to get admittance to see it.
Yeah, too bad about the originals. at least we have beautiful and almost exact replicas like this to look at. P.S.: people, stop doing half-assed conversions on wagons and hearses and stuff. It's in poor taste.
Ok guys, this IS the real deal on Sony's backlot. I know two people that have crawled all over it taking pictures and notes for their own Ecto replicas. They work in the industry and believe me, this is the real thing.
This is a Fan-Build which can be seen in the DragonCon Parade. The guys did a great job ob it. I'm just sorry the vehicles used in the Ghostbusters movies were treated so poorly after production ended.
i dont think thats the real one the real one has like amber and lots of green lights running. this ones got 2 mx7000s in blue and all the lights are blue.
I saw pics of the two of them rotting in the back of sony pictures. looks like if this was recent the did a refurb and i know that ecto 1A is at universal florida now.
Jesus god.... I thought they were rotting somewhere on the backlot.... that car is in FAR better condition than I would have thought... is it a replica, or was it recently refurbished, or...what??
This is so good, i know its basic, but your faces say it all man...this car gives me a direct link to how i felt as a child obsessed with the ghostbusters and i thankyou for putting this video up.

No, ecto 1A from GB2 had the green lights. The original was very similar to this aside from the vents on the hood.
