Noticed this book on Amazon set for October, “Ghostbusters: Ectomobile” I recognize one author… [https://www.amazon.com/Ghostbusters-Ectomobile-Troy-Benjamin/dp/1608875121?tag=gbfans-discourse-20](https://www.amazon.com/Ghostbusters-Ectomobile-Troy-Benjamin/dp/1608875121?tag=gbfans-discourse-20) Links in this post may be affiliate links.

Now that is a Haynes manual that needs to be added to my collection. 🙂 I wonder if they’ll go the _USS Enterprise_ manual route and include the [Ecto-1A](https://www.gbfans.com/wiki/uncategorized/ecto-1a), and cartoon variants? ---

Looking at the description, it will at least cover the Ecto-1A and the Ecto-1 from ATC. I’d be surprised if they DIDN’T include the Ecto-1 from RGB And XGB for some padding and maybe the [Ecto-1B](https://www.gbfans.com/wiki/games/ghostbusters-the-video-game/equipment/ecto-1B) from the game. ---

This definitely looks intriguing; hopefully it will be a nice mix of both in-universe pseudo-science about the cars and the actual screen-used vehicles. ---

The Amazon page has been updated. The cover now looks like a Haynes auto repair book. heh. ---

Sweet, looks like it’ll be covering the [Ecto-1](https://www.gbfans.com/wiki/uncategorized/ecto-1), [Ecto-1A](https://www.gbfans.com/wiki/uncategorized/ecto-1a) and 2016 Ecto-1. The perfectionist in me is wishing the front lightbar bracket was drawn to resemble the original, rather than the replacement… but otherwise the cover looks great. 🙂 ---

I wonder if it’ll cover some of the stuff that was added in RGB like the slide out traps, the mobile lab and others. ---

My inner pragmatist is telling me to be happy with whatever is printed in this book. This is from Insight, who did the Visual History and [Tobin’s Spirit Guide](https://www.gbfans.com/shop/tobins-spirit-guide). While both were chock full of stuff, a little old and a little new, and heavy on cool photos but nowhere near 100% comprehensive. I’m curious to see if they unearth anything new about the Ectos, like things on the roof. ---

Im definitely looking forward to this book, ive always been fascinated about the equipment on the roofs of the Ecto’s especially the 1A with this particular car being my favourite, would like to see details on both versions of the PKE movie and RGB versions and hopefully see the [Ecto-2](https://www.gbfans.com/wiki/real-ghostbusters/ecto-2) covered? ---

Need to get myself a copy. Already have [Tobin’s Spirit Guide](https://www.gbfans.com/shop/tobins-spirit-guide) and this will be a welcome addition to my GB library. I love books like these. Got a bunch of the old Star Trek tech manuals and love pouring over these type of books. ---
