Meticulously recreated over three years using three donor cars, this 1959 Cadillac Miller Meteor Ghostbusters Ecto-1 replica stands as one of the most authentic Ectomobile builds ever completed. Starting life as a 1960 Cadillac Miller Meteor Hearse, the project involved blending it with a 1959 Cadillac—including a full front clip, rear quarters, dash, and steering wheel—to match the iconic vehicle from the 1984 film. Every detail was carefully sourced and recreated, with the builder scouring the internet for the rarest parts available to ensure cinematic accuracy.
A 1959 Cadillac dash was restored and installed, while the seats, interior lighting, and movie-accurate details like the Ferno-Washington gurney for the Proton Packs were replicated. The exterior features a flawless paint job, custom decals, and a perfectly replicated roof rack. The roof was reinforced with steel tubing, Code 3 lights were refurbished and installed, and chrome restoration exceeded $10,000 in cost. The vehicle was completely rebuilt from the floor pans to the roof rack, with the original 390 engine and Hydramatic transmission retained. The build retains its original VIN and clean title.
