Ecto-1/Ecto-1A is like the third most iconic car of the 80s. I think only Knight Rider's KITT and Back to the Future's DeLorean time machine rank higher and not by much for either. All three are awesome in their own ways.
Glad Canadian wrote and acted in it.
Those kids... ingrates. If I saw ECTO-1 driving down my street today like an ice cream van I’d lose my mind... and I’m 35
i love ghostbusters I really want to drive it
Ecto 1 vs K.I.T.T vs Christine vs The Car If the Ecto 1 was possessed by A ghost it would be a great movie in my opinion

Cool i liked the ghostbusters song
Came back from the nostalgia I understand that’s this conversion is inaccurate since it’s made by a different coach building, but it still is a 59 Commercial Chassis, which are still hard to find, let alone in the UK. Speaking of, the proper lights are probably also so much more difficult to find Rest Well Derek Acorah *1950 - 2020*
that's a nice classic
I would turn it into an Ecto Drift! 😜 *eurobeats intensifies*

Its not the real Ecto 1. The real ecto 1 is sitting at the LA. Police Museum. Plus, look at these lights at top. The two Clear ones are wrong. They are supposed to be blue.

Also was it so hard to get blue hoses on the side so he just got red. I would try to make it movie accurate if I ever had an ecto 1.

I've seen better film-accurate replicas of the Ecto-1. Plus, the blue hoses on the left side of the Ecto-1 look better than the red hoses.
AWSOME

What on earth are 5th Gear doing with that fraud Derek Acorah? Whoever booked him for that segment really needs to have a good long chat with themselves... how to insult your viewer base 101

AaronBurley I do find it amazing that people are more happy to believe supernatural reasons rather than believe evidence. Anyway I don't know why I replied I know you will be happy with your answers and not be keen to revaluate your beliefs. I think you would probably not agree with Dawkins.

Aren't the hoses on the rear driver-side fender supposed to be blue, rather than maroon? It's not a HUGE deal, but it DID kinda bug me.

Not completely off-topic but somewhat: The building used for the interior of the firehouse in Ghostbusters is now abandoned. :( Although every time I hear that song, the Ecto-1's siren now just goes off in my head.

I'm pretty sure they ment, when was this episode shown on tv - since Ghostbusters is now 31, approaching 32 years oldbut Johnny said it was approaching its' 25th anniversary, this episode must have first been shown about late 2008/early 2009 :) .
It's missing the mars lights and the front blue lights are so wrong...
Wish this REPLICA was kitted out properly, i hate it when people use the wrong items for this iconic car. And on top of all that Dodgy Derek sitting in an ECTO 1, wonder if he got any VIBES from Ghosts saying GET OUT ;).
the youtube name that has luffy's future power
Not a believer in ghosts but Ghostbusters was a good movie.

why is they a Scousers in the hallway?
It's not an exact replica, the front blue blinking lights are wrong, the logo isn't complete, etc...

Derek Acorah is no more a ghost buster than I am a fucking rocket scientist, and he owns a Chrysler 300c, dreary me, seems he knows nothing about cars either! Okay, okay......5th gear should be totally ashamed of themselves! They'll have postman pat reviewing a fucking transit van next!!!!

Only 25/400 of the Miller Meteor ambulances survive for 1959, this is why purists get upset & so many other coach built ambulances like the Superior are used as Ecto 1. Only the eagle eyed can tell the difference. Some MM ambulances do need to be preserved in the original livery as emergency vehicles.
Lighting equipment is all wrong and missing some things too
