i'm not sure if you got my email or not, but your GB logo magnets are on the way, they should be there tomorrow or thursday. Being a car nut and working in the motor city, please feel free to consult me for any questions/parts/restoration questions you may have. i'm connected with damn near every shop in the Detroit area. if you're going to do anything major, PLEASE ask me first I can let you know if your'e getting ripped off or not or if I know someone that can do somehting better/cheaper. I hope you like the magnets. stay in touch.


p.s. i'm mad jealous i don't know how much longer i can hold off the voices in my head that keep telling me to steal your car…

thanks

Makes me wish I could jump out to Chicago and help you out with that baby. Good luck with it, and I'm sure it will turn out very nicely. Just watch out for the freaks who will want to burn you on a cross after turning it into an Ecto 1 replica :-) .

Thanks Geoff,

I'm really looking forward to the magnetic logos, they will really add some style to the car during the restoration process. I plan on assembling an organized and much nicer looking page for the Ecto replica in the coming days, and as soon as I get the magnets I will post images as well as a link so others can get them for their own cars.

Mileage on the title says “N/A”, but the odemeter reads 47,000. The engine is the original, but it was rebuilt, so give or take.
in some states, the title won't state the mileage of the vehicle once it reaches a certain age.

Wow Chad! That is a beut. Although it needs a lot of work, it's a really nice find. Man, your lucky! :p

You know what? After having the car just one day, the most unbelievable part of Ghostbusters is not the existence of ghosts, nor the catching and entrapment of ghosts. The most unbelievable aspect of Ghostbusters is the fact that in EVERY scene the Ecto-1 is in, the Ghostbusters just slip into a parking space in downtown manhattan, right in front of their destination.

As a former owner of an Ecto-1 replica (my base car was a 1971 Olds 98 Cotner Bevington ambulance) and former member of the PCS (Professional Car Society) I can personally attest to the fact that your car will in fact PLUMMET in actual value if you convert that old beauty to an Ecto-1 clone! A mint condition 1959 MM is worth nearly $50,000,however after you butcher it into an Ecto it wil be worth 1/2 that much. My car was fun but after awhile the attention it drew was too much, and it became unfun!!! You will not believe the RIGHTS people give themselves regarding YOUR car! You will be miserable in about 2 years time guaranteed!

Hello Chad.

In case you don't have a Ecto-1 license plate, here you go:

http://cgi.ebay.ca/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=7555803764

There's no license plate available for sale at this moment but keep looking at the seller's items for sale for one to show up soon
