Ghostbusters Ecto-1 Replica on Channel 5's Fifth Gear

the european car started out as a S&S coach and he costom it to make it look more like a MM… Also in 59 MM made 88 limo style combos

When did you get in touch with him, Chuck? Email, I presume. :slight_smile:

No Ben, I just remember seeing the car last yr before he changed the back windows.

True,

But thats not what it’s there for.

Where an Ecto replica is supposed to look like something.

These are supposed to go fast and be functional.

Guys, that dragster is a 2:3 size replica. It’s made of fiberglass, so have no fear…it is not metal. And the fact that the european Ecto started out as an S&S makes me very sad. I’m all about the Ecto, but to take such a rare and well regarded coach builder and modify it like that is blaspheme, at least from a collector’s standpoint.

Are the new back windows actually cut into it or are they faux windows? I’m not sure if there was a clear shot through the divider to be able to tell. Considering those were pretty big support areas for the roof to hack into.

No!

Which is why I think it is rediculous that anyone would be upset about those windows. They are most likely just black stickers and some kind of chrome edging.

Professional car collectors made the same fuss when Sean turned his Superior Hearse into a Superior Ambulance. He cut the rear windows in and had everything done to the exact blueprints.. so it came out as a perfect Ambulance.. and yet people are pissed off about that. I guess those idiots would rather have seen an unrestored and rotting Superior Hearse than a fully restored Superior Ambulance…

Actually I think they were more pissed about him modifying the coach to turn it into an Ecto moreso than opening up the windows…at least that’s what I gather by talking to most of them.

They can cry me a river, build a bridge and get the hell over it.

Well that’s what I meant. 400 Ecto’s is not very realistic. :walterpeck:

In hindsight, though, most Ecto replica’s aren’t even MM’s, I think! :lol:

We hung out with Milton’s Ecto 1 featured on Fifth Gear, today!

Man I so want one. That and a Delorian.

Would never drive them, just have them sit on my driveway.
