Own a Piece of History: Universal Studios Ecto-1

Ghostbusters Fans own, and owner of the Ecto-1 Builder’s Forum, Paul Francis is selling his beloved Ecto-1 which was originally used by Universal Studios Florida. The car has spent the last three years in Paul’s care as it was meticulously cared for and restored to movie accurate condition. Thousands upon thousands were spent on new movie accurate lights, chrome, tanks and tubing among other things.

The car is currently up on eBay with a reserve that should be very affordable to any classic car collector.

Bid and outbid.

If only this was up 6 years later, I’d have the dough.

yea i remember this he was trying to sell it for a while now last time i checked he was asking 65 grand for it.

great car tho. got a video of it from a recent conventiona couple months back if anyone wants it.

Is that $45,500?

Beautiful pictures by the way.

I was the high bidder for about ten minutes. :slight_smile:

this makes me MEGA sad. I would give absolutely ANYTHING for that car. It’s the single coolest thing EVER!

:frowning:

Maybe we could race Ectos for pinks?

I would kill for that car, and im not joking i would

and im sure many others on this site have the same feeling as me

I really do hope I win the Lottery this week.

Yeah.. but you gotta actually buy tickets to do that.. my biggest downfall when hoping to win the lottery.

The reserve has been met!

This car is going to the highest bidder now.

Thanks for the update and the post AJ, you’re the best!

It’s a beautiful thing, that car.

Check your PM’s Paul. : )

I think it looks great the car :blush:

Having worked with Paul on a few occassions and seeing this thing in person is truly amazing. There was just something about going out to his studio and seeing it parked inside. Plus seeing Ernie along side it back in June was awesome. It’s really a shame that it has to be let go. Hopefully, whoever wins it will cherish this historic vehicle.

I sent a link to the auction to one of the orginal USF Ghostbusters :slight_smile: His now a manager for show concept but his cool to talk to.
