Details

This fan-made replica of the Ghostbusters Ectomobile was built from a 1959 Cadillac Superior hearse. Driveable and meant for the street, this car features 11,250 miles (mileage not indicated on the title), and is powered by a 390ci 8-cylinder V8 engine mated to an automatic transmission, both of which were rebuilt in 2012. In 2018, a replacement of the carrier bearing and driveshaft was performed, as well as a complete rebuild of the braking system to include heavy-duty truck brakes and a reconditioning of the gas tank. Some of the many upgrades for modernization and reliability include an Edelbrock carburetor, Pertronix ignition, electric fuel pump with dual front and rear filters, dual brake cylinders, separate oil and water-cooling systems with dedicated fans, conventional lug posts and dual batteries, as well as a GelCell for the car and a deep-cycle for the accessories. The twin alternators put out 440 amps to assure peak voltage in a slow parade with all the features turned on. The external PA system and internal/external stereo run separately from each other, which allows both to be used at the same time, playing the stereo externally while either talking to the crowd on the PA or running the siren. The seats and interior are all original and the dash is autographed by eight members of the cast and crew. The roof rack collapses at the hit of a button and the laser turret can be remote-controlled from two different positions in the car, or by using a handheld remote when walking outside. The car's five cameras can be viewed from three monitors inside the car. The suspension was enhanced to support the additional thousand pounds of weight from all the additional equipment. Additionally, the car comes with all props and accessories, which include four Proton Packs, the stretcher rack and other ghost-catching equipment. The Proton Packs are about 35 pounds each and can be worn. Each pack contains lights and a portable stereo system, and are each approximately valued at $1,500. All movie props and accessories seen in the pictures are included, as well as a few uniform flight suits in various sizes.
