After commenting on the DeLorean for sale, I had to say something about this: you can buy the original Ghostbuster’s Ecto 1 for just $150,000.

The Ghostbusters Ecto 1 for sale is not the original movie car. It is a very accurate replica, built on a slightly different 1959 Cadillac ambulance. The one in the movie was a Miller-Meteor “combination” coach: used as both a hearse and ambulance. The one for sale is a 1959 Cadillac S&S combination. A subtle difference, but significant enough to disprove it’s authenticity. Just thought you ought to know. Most people believe it is the actual one from the movie. Unfortunately, the real Ecto 1 (and Ecto 1a from Ghostbusters 2) is sitting in an open lot at Sony Studios in California, rotting away. Sony won’t let anyone see it, let alone entertain any offers ($150,000 seems high for this one, but the real one would probably be worth a mint more).
Oh man, that’s a bummer — I can’t believe they’re letting the original just rot away.
Yeah, there’s actually a movement to rescue these cars. I have come to understand that Sony has given the Ecto 1 a light refurb and it is now being shown as a part of the tour at Sony Studios. Also, the builder of the Ecto 1 replica that is currently for sale is George Barris, the guy who built the original Batmobile and a host of other famous movie cars. He claims to be the driving force behind the creation of the car, although as far as I am aware he had nothing to do with the original.
150k is not worth it if some ones gonna say this when u drive the car in the street. hey look at that guys replica he been ripped off its not the real car why should we look at it any way if it cost more then 1 million dollars for both the cars in the movie i whould buy them
