Hello everyone.
My name is Paul and I am from Newcastle, United Kingdom.
I am looking to buy a 1959 Cadillac Ambulance to re-create ECTO1.
The only problem is that i haven't a clue where i will purchase one.
Can anyone give me direction to this matter?
yours,

Paul Green

Currently there isnt any for sale on the web :-(

Just to let you know I know a few things about these cars (yea right I know A LOT lol) These girls are rare and only a hand full are out there. If you find one in decent shape you'll be lucky, i mostly seen junkers go up for sale. If you find a junker I shaw warn you it will cost you more to restore it then turning it into an Ecto replica. To let you know Ecto-1 was a 1959 Cadillac Miller Meteor limo style combo. One last thing check out my site

Don't suppose you can enlighten us as to how much you've got set aside to spend on this project, Paul?

So you have close to 2,000 to buy one thats needs to be restored. Then a other 50,000 to restore it, then a other couple grand to turn it into a Ecto.

To replace a front windsheild on these babies cost 2500 . I hope you have A LOT of money

I ain't particulary fond of believing everything I read on a forum, plus I wouldn't be holding my breath waiting for photos of his restoration process.

Ack, I really need a coffee.

I didn't mean to sound overly negative, but it's no point believing everything you read.

Please prove me wrong, I would love to see another Ecto project come into view!
