Is Ray a scientist.. or a mechanic??

[GhostbustersDotNet]

Both.

Despite of what he said of the car... that piece of moving sculpture is a thing of beauty! May have been a take on finding one back then, but today, locating an original condition '59 caddy MM would be like finding Big Foot or the Loc Ness Monster, worst, a fully reconditioned / restored one will cost ya an arm and a leg, along with a year's worth of your salary, the morgage on your house, and all of your kids' collage finds. In these times we live in, that's not exaggerating, that's reality.

$4800 would be $10,725.67 today. Kinda explains Peter's reaction.

@GhostbustersDotNet that's why I like him!

@odiemodie1 actually if you look it up they recently fully restored Ecto 1! They took the

old Cadillac used and fitted for Ecto and pimped it. I'm serious.. they friggin pimped Ecto 1! They changed all the old parts, builded them from scratch as they were, did the bodywork, rebuilt the engine, the wirings, the whole blasted car..!! They made like it came out of the factory in 1959 but still fitted like Ecto 1! It was awesome!

[Rusty Nugent]

Yes they are. Ecto-1. What a car!

[TURBODORK2]

thats true but 1959 cadillacs are worth around $15, 000- $20,000 if fully restored . this one is the miller meteor ambulance version which is even more rare

[Rusty Nugent]

actually, that was QUITE expensive back in 1984 (which is the point of the joke when Venkman's face falls when he hears the price.

[TURBODORK2]

a beautiful cadillac for only $4800 , that is cheap for a 59 Cadillac!!!
