Can anyone tell me the complete list of GB vehicles

There is the obvious, ecto 1 with multiple versions. (1, 1A 1B )
Then of course ecto 2 from RGB (GYRO COPTER)
And i think in EGB ecto 4 and 5 show up towards the end of the series (fire and garbage trucks)
In the game ecto 8 makes an a appearance (BOAT)
What were the rest i could never figure it out

Ecto-3: a collapsable, motorized unicycle with sidecar. Stowed in Ecto-1's rear fender. (TV)

Ecto-3 (II): go-kart with ghost-grabbing paddles on the front. (Kenner) (relased before the TV version)

Ecto-4: Interdimensional air craft. Has a flux capacitor (Great Scott!). (NOW comics) (called Ecto-3 in its first appearance; retconned to Ecto-4 after the unicycle debuted)

Ecto-500: 1940s-era racecar with grabbing arms on the exposed cams. (Kenner)

I don't think the fire and garbage truck, or the other vehicles in the toy line, were given Ecto designations.

Well, there was the Ecto-Bomber, a prop plane, which actually made it into the cartoon. “The Slob” if I remember correctly.

Lol..yeah. I thought the funniest thing about the “ECTO-8” designation is that if you took the cartoon's ECTO-2 and 3, the comic's ECTO-4, and then considered the ECTO-500 as ECTO-5, the Ghost Sweeper and Ecto-Bomber as 6 and 7, ECTO-8 actually would actually “work”. But that would be…gasp…validating stuff done places besides the movies.

The EGB vehicles could also be added, though since they would have been created well after the video game's time period, they would theoretically have higher numbers. (ECTO-9 and 10?:-))

Highway Haunter, not an Ectomobile, but it has the No Ghost logo at the doors.

Right James. I had always assumed that they made the Highway Haunter because Janine's car in the series was a VW bug. Anyone know which of the 2 actually came first? Either way, I wouldn't count it as an Ecto.
