On a side note, I've always wanted to take a 90-91 Pontiac Trans Sport and turn it into a Star Trek shuttlecraft of some kind. It's the perfect shape and I'm the only one that sees it. Everyone else sees an old Dustbuster.
@@thesam19841 I wonder what year it was??!! I watch the Vinwiki Channel alot and they've covered most of the recent cannonballs I haven't seen that on there as of yet.
I spotted a really good ECTO 1 replica on the M25 here in the UK many years ago. I yelped with excitement….. The passenger I was taxing wasn’t as excited.
That thing had to be solid. Those New Beetles were built pretty solid structurally. My lil sis destroyed a newer Accord with one. Her car was totaled too, probably just because it was 10 years old, but it looked fine. The new Accord she t boned was all crunched up and she just had a busted radiator.
One of my good friends was given his mothers old car a 94 white Escort wagon, and he had the sides painted up and a removable top with lights on it... this was way back in 2010 and I had never seen something like this... he unfortunately passed away during covid and since we had two white cars at the time I bought some no ghost magnets and ran them on my truck and my wifes car until they fell off on the highway as tribute to hime
Because of the Blue Light Rapist in Arkansas. Arkansas passed the Shannon's Law which made it illegal to own, operate, sell or transfer blue light or covers in Arkansas.
I appreciate being a super fan of ghost busters and even turning some vehicles into echos - but every vehicle - dude must love ghost busters some of those were cool especially the dodge wagon - that would have great potential and the Subaru was cool
I’m sorry but that’s simply not true. There was the you can’t park here car but the hero Ecto in the first movie was the only Ecto made for the film…same for the hero 1A in part 2…the hero Afterlife car is the 1A car converted and there were several others that were cut up so I guess there’s a possibility they used a cut up superior for Afterlife but in the Original films there were just the 3 M+Ms. However there are several less than reputable car museums that have Superior replicas and claim them to be screen used. Either way, thanks for watching!
@@ChaceAmbrose If you're not in dire need of a HEMI, the V6-powered Magnums are pretty cheap...just stay away from the 2.7L V6: that engine is a disaster. Stick with the 3.5L.
The dark color schemes look cool. I'd be tempted to do that if I was making a homage car. A guy down the street from me has an almost exact Ecto-1 replica. His is a 1960 Cadillac with an Eureka body because good luck finding anything from that era. On Halloween he cranks up the lights and siren and goes tearing around the neighborhood. I've also seen a Challenger General Lee in my area.
@kingspeed422 I am a big fan of them but it’s also an inside joke because a while back I was with Christopher Michaels at Caffine and Octane and a guy came up that recognized him from here and he acted like he recognized me too…at the time I was an Anchor on a local news station so I assumed that was why. Nope. I was wearing this hat and he thought I was James Pumphrey.
It WILL get a ton of attention but the n my experience eventually you will be on the way home from work and need gas…and you are tired and hungry, and several different people come up and want to ask if you are real and what you do etc….I LITERALLY did this for about 20 years before I was like FUCK IT! No more!!!! So you might have fun for a while….honestly I did till I didn’t
Im' 53 worked at a hobby store when I was 15 in Old town Conyers GA named Dragon Ware Hobbies. Gentleman came in one day promoting a new comic gathering he named it Dragon Con, none of us ever heard of it. It didn't exist at the time. The Owner a lady named Peggy signed on to it. We had a booth or two and later we did "security" at several instances of said events' Some of the best times of my early life. Main dude went to jail for child pedo stuff, I only shook his hand, don't blame me. The only car stuff I had happen was some "ethnic people" stole my radio after I gave them a two dollar tip. When I parked, I guess I count myself lucky that's all they took.
Then you’re going to love that we literally just finished a ‘59 MM duplex Ecto-1 here in Australia and we are converting two ‘60 MM into two more Ecto’s. We have a 59 sedan deville someone cut the roof off and a burnt 59 coupe deville as donor cars, which means the 59 formal limousine will be put back on the road, have a nice day
@@williammccabe3767eewwww. Ernie and I had a long convo about people like y'all and him being a car guy he HATES fake Ectos. Calls them all hacks. Haha
1. He signed the visor in the magnum which I still have for free 2. I had dinner with Ernie at a con and he noticed my Human Centipede tattoo. SFX legend Tom Woodruff was there as well and we both recommended the film…a few months later we were doing a GB panel at DragonCon and the first thing he said was “I will NEVER forgive you and Tom for telling me to watch that movie.” So if he thinks I’m a hack, that’s cool…I wasted 2 hours of his life!
@@ChaceAmbrose I did watch the video ,and my opinion is its crap ,vinwiki could easily have used a picture of one of the other cars he has built but no use junk instewd
That negative Ecto-1 livery is super dope.
Thanks!
Please let the girl with the Lincoln know about green hearses
I don't remember her name but I believe the car is called Lilly the Lincoln
That’s what I thought right away
We are friends and she knows lol

I thought of the same idea back in the day too!!! We must be 2 of the greatest minds in the Federation!!! ENGAGE!!!
That's been done years ago, there was a TransSport "Galileo" shuttle down here in Miami.
@@markroderick3300 We are talkin STAR TREK shuttles not the NASA Space shuttles they're nothing alike.
I believe someone did it for a cannonball type run... my sister is a huge trekkie and I remember her mentioning that back in the day
@@thesam19841 I wonder what year it was??!! I watch the Vinwiki Channel alot and they've covered most of the recent cannonballs I haven't seen that on there as of yet.
More Ecto content please! I'd love to see how these different versions are made.
This is not Ecto-1. Ecto-1 is a 1959 Cadillac.
While it may not be *The* ecto-1, it's still an Ectomobile
@@dannybrezelhorner2715 A new-wave version, which is wack.
Only Chase can talk about “full cavity searches” in such a way that makes you howl with laughter!
Hahaha thanks buddy!
Movie car stories, great way to start the day!
I spotted a really good ECTO 1 replica on the M25 here in the UK many years ago.
I yelped with excitement….. The passenger I was taxing wasn’t as excited.
ECTO-1UK is a beautiful car.
My butt still hurts from that cavity search.
More like the curse of the Wrectomobiles.
I had the 87 Taurus ERT - Ghostbusters and the 84 Colt Vista Wagon. All met untimely demise.
I remember all of these! Nice to hear the stories again.

1. I care, I'd like to hear about the Dodge build.
2. You have to get the DC guy's story.
Boy I did not expect to see this pop up in my feed today. For once the UA-cam algorithm is doing a good job! Hey Chace, lol.

The other way to get around the light bar problem is to have a cover over it. Fully covered while driving. No problems.
Or just use orange
That would be if he had common sense.
Love the Magnum Ecto.
There’s a magnum Ecto in Bakersfield , CA. He actually does ghost hunting with a group.
The absolute Chad 'Harold and Maude' enjoyer. One of my favorites.
Everyone I’ve ever met named Todd is an asshole….except you.
Thank you for not fitting the stereotype!

Btw, check the tattoo on chace's arm..
I think the only ghost you may have to worry about haunting you is Gus. 😉👻
Another great show, brother!!
That’s a good point
Ive account met the Atlanta Ghostbusters at a lego convention in Duluth last year and still got yalls businesse card ane yall are awesome
this was the Georgia Ghostbusters...different group.
@@ChaceAmbrose oh I see
Putting on some stickers and a lightbar, is hardly a build. But very cool anyway.
I've always wanted to build one out of a 60's Chevy suburban. Something different, but still kinda like the OG model.
There was one in Florida a few years ago that was a 70's burban
Kinda makes me want to do an ecto with a ford flex . I think the lines on it would be appealing.
Always love seeing ecto 1 replicas
I appreciate being a super fan of ghost busters and even turning some vehicles into echos - but every vehicle - dude must love ghost busters some of those were cool especially the dodge wagon - that would have great potential and the Subaru was cool
So what you're saying is you've never owned an Ecto-1.
Space Coast Ghostbusters brought me here
I know that swell fella ... :)
Really good story
Not all the Ecto ones were Miller meteors some of them were also superiors but they are almost indistinguishable from each other
I’m sorry but that’s simply not true. There was the you can’t park here car but the hero Ecto in the first movie was the only Ecto made for the film…same for the hero 1A in part 2…the hero Afterlife car is the 1A car converted and there were several others that were cut up so I guess there’s a possibility they used a cut up superior for Afterlife but in the Original films there were just the 3 M+Ms. However there are several less than reputable car museums that have Superior replicas and claim them to be screen used.
Either way, thanks for watching!
Who told you that?
Chace...sir, you need a new ecto!
I do but I’m a POOR…and my current hearse simply would not work. I’d like to rebuild the magnum.

What is your favorite movie car?
Let's be honest lighting mcqueen is the best sorry fast and furious fans I was in 2006 so obviously
The Lamborghini from the original Cannonball, the General Lee, your car from your movie cameo, too many to name
928. First from Weird Science, then of course Risky Business.
The batmobile
I am between the Ecto-1 and the BTTF Delorean Time Machine
Wait. Did he buy that general Lee challenger? One just like that was for sale in my town last year.
He bought one and converted it a few years ago. He still has it.
The dark color schemes look cool. I'd be tempted to do that if I was making a homage car.

What a shame he turned a beautiful Eureka into that.
Subaru reliability disappeared with the cvt era. Not just the cvt the electrical system is terrible.
time for a CTS V Sportwagon ECTO 1 :)
More Ecto stories please! ED FOR THE LOVE OF GOZER PLEASE!!!
I’m trying to get Ed to let my buddy Loren on, he owns the accurate 59 that’s in the parade pics in this video
@@ChaceAmbroseIt would be nice to be on @VINwiki to share stories of The Ect-OHIO and the rest of my car collection. I'm ready when you are @EdBolian!

well I STILL want one!
yes will get tons of attention driving it or stopping for gas I know
wish I had one b4 the new movie comes out

2:05 I would totally say this.
I’m in Chattanooga how can I join a GhostBusters group? I have a jumpsuit and pack.
I think they have a facebook group
Look up the Tennessee Ghostbusters.
Wow, thanks I will hit them up.
@@Bliggity You're very welcome!

@@williammccabe3767 hey, fellow Australian here! Do you have an Instagram or something where we can follow the progress of your builds?
When I see a regular car built like an Ecto the word pathetic comes to mind.
So much sacrilege
A dodge magnum echo-1???? Why, why, why, why??? Such a silly car to use to make into an echo-1. Was the dodge magnum free or something??
*Ecto-1
Make vehicles Echo 1 lol
oh hey i remember the magnum ecto on the RPF forums
Kevin's was on the RPF, not mine....unless he shared it which he may have
