That has been my dream car since I could remember

[@FrankGutowski-ls8jt]

We had a ‘59 Series 62 two door coupe. I passed my driving test in it on the first try, including parallel parking! Ours and other ‘59 models were 18.75 ft long. This one is not 22 feet long. It doesn’t weight 7000 lbs. Has the same x frame chassis as other ‘59s. Difference is the tail end sheet metal and the glass, plus, obviously the roof, rear door and whatever sheet metal changes were needed for the floor. There’s not a ton of extra stuff in it.

It's cool to see people turn these into the Ecto-1 but it's kinda sad that as more of them are turned into the Ecto-1, the less hearse and ambulance versions there will be

[@kylem8710]

I was in Drumheller Alberta Canada when they where filming the new ghoust busters movie a couple summers ago , I got a photo of the ecto 1 hearse from a block away.

[@pcs9518]

I have a guy that lives near me that has a ambulance version still outfitted as an ambulance. It’s been parked inoperable for at least 30 years now and he still won’t sell it still to this day.

[@apothicd8770]

Ecto 1 was an ambulance not a hearse. And I know stupid people will say it's the same but you don't put emergency lights on a hearse. Yes it was the same model. And Although you can put emergency lights on a hearse, that would defeat the purpose of it being a hearse.

[@RobertMoseley]

Yes, ECTO-1 was an "ambulance", the car was a Futura Combo, used as both a hearse or an ambulance. So both are true.

[@micjubba709]

I would have loved to bought that car and turned it into Ecto-1. But unfortunately I'm not good with cars so I would have brought it to Gotham Garage and hire them to do the conversion as well to install a new motor and transmission.

Bob, would you happen to know of someone with an ecto-1 in the Midwest? I would like to have one at our car show in June. It's a nonprofit show, all money raised is donated to "hunt for a cure targeting cystic fibrosis". Any ideas? Please help, we are having a hearse/ambulance class for the show this year, first time ever!! It would be great to have an ecto-1. Thanks

[@joe6096]

This is definitely a case where it’s ok to take restomod license and change things on a classic car. On a normal 1959 Cadillac - particularly the Eldorado Series 62 Biarritz - you’d want to do only a strict chalk mark factory restoration. Which means rebuilding and balancing the factory original 390 and rebuilding the factory drum brakes. But if you’re going to make an MM into an ECTO-1 replica, nothing wrong with an LT1 swap, disc brakes, and air ride. Hope you’re filming the complete tear down and rebuild process - I’d love to watch it from start to finish!

How much would you sell this for if you was ever going to sell it as is?

[@ghaleon128]

I wouldn't put an LS1 from a Camaro in that thing... Go with a truck engine. With a car that heavy, you want more torque than hp.

[@RobertMoseley]

We are using an "iron block" LS1 out of a truck, with the transmission. This car won't be making any road trips, it just needs to be able to start, run and move around reliably in short distances and low speeds, it will be carried in a trailer to most events. The original 60 year old engine is usable but hard to start when cold, leaky by design, smokey and old technology. We have lived with our 1960 ECTO for 7 years now and know what it is like to deal with the Cadillac 390, the same engine is in my 1963 Cadillac convertible. It always starts, but not without a little help. I don't want to have to be jump starting the car while someone is squirting starting fluid every time!

[@ghaleon128]

@@RobertMoseley good choice! Iron blocks are the way to go. I can't believe, after watching this, that not only did you find an original 59, but you have MULTIPLE Caddy M/M's from the era. Blows my mind. Most people spend a lifetime tracking down one! 😂

[@RobertMoseley]

These cars are priced on a new level, a carcass is going to catch between $25K - $50K, a complete restored or original hearse would be $80-$120K. No one has sold a complete and "accurate" ECTO in more than 10 years that I know of, it's hard to track the values, but I can tell you that you will need a budget in excess of $100K
