Car to Use for custom GB Car

With all the Ghostbusters II ■■■■ on the roof.

Looks hillarious.. totally freaked me out.

that looks badass

'91 Volvo station wagon works fine for me.[/img]

I was trying to buy a 92 volvo wagon, they do look damn nice. The one I saw was black and looked very much like a hearse o.o

Any idea where this Hummer pic was from before the Photoshop? I’m trying to find this exact hummer.

(Yes I realize this is extremely old. But I figured I would ask!)

Guyver hasn’t posted on the forum in 13 years. Even if he did, there’s no guarantee he ever knew who owned the white Humvee back in the day.

Being it’s from 2006, and with multiple Hummers in the lot, I have to say it could very likely be from Lynch Hummer. They were the largest dealer in the US for many years. They are no longer a Hummer dealer as GM stopped making Hummer years ago.

If you could afford it, i’d go with the new version or wait for a military auction to go up.

Any vehicle can be an Ecto… I got a lot of compliments on my Ecto last Halloween.

Yeesh, the 2025 Humvee just doesn’t hold a candle to how cool the 1985 model looked. It’s kinda like (though not quite as bad) as the 2010 redesign of the Daleks, too smooth and plasticy, and generally lacking the charm of the original.

Yeah, it’s more of a civilian look then a militaristic appearance. I’m not opposed to EV’s as long as they work and don’t blow up in the winter. That’s progress I suppose.

The look is cool enough to work for a modern Ecto but I’m betting people well still cut you off as a form of protest not knowing the new version is electric. I like the Tesla but it looks like the Delorian and a pickup decided to have a child and gave up halfway through. Lol.

I appreciate the responses from everyone. I will keep looking!

I’m actually really glad you bumped this thread. Seeing that Humvee gave me the ambition to make of these. They search for the right Hummer and equipment is currently underway.

Maybe I’ll start a new thread once I make actual physical process.

Hey there are occasionally Humvees available from the government with different body styles:

Ambulance

Helmet Top

Slant Back

…but maybe try to wait to find one that at least runs! Civilian H1s also had several body styles but they tend to be quite a bit more expensive.

Since when did military Humvee prices skyrocket?!?! I’ve been on the hunt for one since this thread was bumped and it is tough!! There must be some precious metals in them that i don’t know about because even clapped out ones are demanding high prices. Not giving up hope though

The classic military-style Hummer has an iconic look, and after having appeared in 40 years’ worth of film and television media I’m not that surprised its prices are high, as they’re still probably highly-sought after… As your own quest attests to. :slight_smile:

I remember, maybe 10 years ago or so, that the prices of civilian H1 had dropped. I guess March of 2020 changed that! Still on the hunt for the right Humvee!

Goverment-direct may take awhile for paperwork and shipping:

But is probably cheaper than Ebay:

Good luck in any event!

Following up with my original pic, in quite the coincidence, I found the only reference to a white factory slantback H1 with the old mirrors as already something like an “ectomobile”!

If repainted with some aftermarket parts, it may be this one, because at least the year matches.

Time to follow the next lead!

AI-generated, but still a relevant image I found:

I’ve been on the hunt ever since I ran across this thread. The prices of these are through the roof still. They may never come down, but I’m holding out for now. Everything to make it my Ecto is in order, so I’m ready if a miracle happens.
