Who You Gonna Call? Superfan Creates Replica Ghostbusters Car

Who You Gonna Call? Superfan Creates Replica Ghostbusters Car
SUBSCRIBE to the Barcroft network: kzbin.info/door/_7HTdr9JpLAEF5JAZOGlHQ
A fanatic has painstakingly created a fully working replica of the Ghostbusters’ car. Loren Baldwin spent two years searching for parts and six months piecing together his very own Ecto-1. He recently visited New York City - taking the car back to its beloved headquarters at Hook and Ladder 8. It cost Loren $20,000 to convert the 1959 Miller-Meteor chassis into the famous movie car - but without the help of fabrication businesses he estimates he would have spent more than $100,000.

I love when people make a great replica movie/tv car. It brings so much joy to so many people that get to see them out on the road or up close and to get pictures. Car looks amazing!

[@YBABTU]

Wow. It was meant to be. He gave up looking for it because he spent so long looking and thought it was impossible to find and acquire. And he was looking for another car, and it pretty much just finds HIM. What an amazing love story. *wipes away tear*

[@2Guys1ControllerShow]

Yeah, we watched and listened to the video too.

Dan Aykroyd who lives in Ottawa and Ernie Hudson actually got to see this replica at the Ottawa Pop-Expo in Nov 2013. They drove around in the thing a bit. This makes it much more LEGIT imo if 2 out of the original cast of Ghost busters drove in it.

Loren did what Ray did and added the 5 panel mirrors, smart move. During the bust montage in Ghostbusters II, you can see that Ray had put one in, although it appears that the regular adjustable RV Mirror had been removed from the vehicle. While it isn't accurate to original Ecto-1, it is accurate to the revamped one in the second movie.

You know, when you do a car as a labor of love, all the money in the world doesn't matter cause when you drive it, and you get a thumbs up, when you go to car shows, and people pose by it, and tell you stories, it really means something to you, I've probably got 25,000 into my Grand Prix, that's probably worth 15,000 but it's my car, and I didn't do it for resale, I did it for nostalgia and fun
