Not sure where to put this, but I just saw this on Comingsoon.net
Great Caesarās Ghost! Look at the terrible condition itās in once againā¦Radome is backward again and still bent, the C5 isnāt even sitting straight and the rust is starting to creep back on the antenna base. WHAT A CRIME!
Sony donāt care
In front of all those shiny posters advertising upcoming movies, I swear the Ecto has a little ticket on the windshield that reads āplease love me.ā
Itās shine has faded somewhat, and it needs some TLC, but damned if itās not still a beautiful machine.
Poor Ecto. Youāre better then this. :sigh:
Sony just doesnāt care. 
Itās really sad. :sigh:
So whereās that parked? Iām assembling a crack team to take it, fix it, and return it.
Not even Ray and Winston (Heck, even Roland Jackson himself) would āneverā leave the Ecto-1 in bad condition like this; so sad.
I thought it was sold in an auction of TV? Whomever owns it obviously doesnāt cover it.

SONY owns the carā¦the only cars sold at auction were the former Universal Studios Florida car (built for use at the park) and a couple that Barris built for fansā¦This is the one and only screen used Ecto-1 which again, the studio owns, and doesnāt give a shit.
The āyou canāt park that hereā car was a different one which was later converted to an Ectoā¦and Ecto 1-A is a separate carā¦but thatās itā¦Itās not like The Dukes of Hazzard where there were 80 General Leeās
Looks like itās also missing the passenger-side side view mirror.
Why was Sony so against Dan Aykroyd buying it again? They let it rot for decades before doing anything good with it at the last minute.
Loss of a future marketing tool?
Dan has TRIED many times to buy the car with no luck.. Just be happy she was restored to a point a few yrs agoā¦
Any clue why the Ecto is there? Is sony doing any GB promotion at the show?
