The Milton Ecto-1 Replica was recently featured on BBC motoring show, Fifth Gear.
Thanks to the UK Busters for the heads up.
They only made 400 of those? I did not know that.
Fixed the title, the BBC has Top Gear a similar, but far superior show which Fifth Gear can only dream of copying.
400 eh? 
I’m surprised there are that many Ecto-1 replica’s even around, although most don’t seem to be the correct model. Anyway I noticed the left side of the front bumper is closer to the headlights than the other side. It looks like it hit a speed bump too hard. 
EDIT: At second glance it doesn’t look to be the correct model as the original Ecto-1, so who knows what model they refer to with the 400.
He was talking about 400 Miller Meteors, not Ecto replicas.
It isn’t a Miller Meteor, it had rectangular rear quarters in the passenger cabin which have been cut to add some extra windows to the vehicle.
Disregarding the details, a very nice bit of television, though! Something that struck me was their comments on how difficult it is to go around the corner apparently, which immediately bring the image of Aykroyd’s rather adventurous corner-taking to mind… 
Wow, great video. Thanks! I want to drive one so bad! If I were rich I’d totally have one!
Whose Ecto was it?
Gosh. The Brits really want me to know that its on Channel Five and not BBC. I’ve been contacted nearly a dozen times by now!
I’m glad someone else noticed the windows. :lol: Not a bad replica, it’s ok.
For not being a Miller.. the windows were a brilliant addition.
Milton Homan’s, which was seen at Play.com Live and other events around the UK.
Oh I agree, it was a nice addition and would fool the average person completely. Although it’s modifications like that that makes pro car enthusiasts even angrier than just turning one into an Ecto replica. I would really love to see the faces of some of the guys and gals on the NHAA boards after they see this video. :lol:
Let the “pro” classic car enthusiests do whatever in the hell they want with thier cars, and let the people who convert cars into an ecto-1 do whatever they want.
It’s not like they’re spending each other’s money.
You are so right, Dan!
If I had the cash, I’d buy any 59 MM and turn it into one kick a$$ Ectomobile myself 
Well, I’d have to hire someone as I’m not mechanichally enclined.
It’s probably easier building a Proton Pack from scraps, than restoring a 59 MM :lol:
I worked in a body shop for a while.
Always worked on my own vehicles.
I’ve also always wanted an ambulance or a Hearse to do something like this with.
Unfortountly I’ve restored a 1951 firetruck, a '72 Mustang mach 1, 1972 volkswagon beattle and a 71 Karman Ghia.
It sucks lol. Worth it though.
I wanna do an ambulance in the worst way.
/ This is probably one of the rare instances where I’d side with the car enthusiasts, that dragster mod is horrible.
An Ecto conversion, on the other hand, is one of the most sympathetic. The car enthusiasts shoul go chase after the Dragster nuts rather than waste their time on us.
At least Ecto-modders keep the car essentially the same - they just add items. That thing has had some extensive modifications.
So much of it has been modified that you guys don’t even really know how it started out. It is possible that it wasn’t even a 59 Hearse to begin with…
From what I recall of what Milton told me, it did start life as a 59.
