Everybody can relax i've found the car. It needs some suspension work and shocks, brakes, brake pads, lining, steering box, transmission, rear end.
How much will it cost?
@@Ah-ed6ie Only 4800!
Haha a reference
Take me to my final resting place in an ecto 1 and I will smile in my grave till I go to hell.. great video bob. Love ya.
I've not seen the new "Ghostbusters" movie but I have seen & have the original & the sequel of "Ghostbusters " on dvd.
Doug Mammaro I believe the movie isn’t out yet
@@QuakMans it WAS gonna be out in June but Covid killed off all the summer blockbusters!
that one would of hit big too!
If you’re talking about the 2016 movie don’t bother. It was very mediocre.
@@nerfnewb7155 oh bleah I liked it 😝
@@nerfnewb7155 It wasn't that good...
all those Cadillac ambulances or hearseses are interesting modern age works of art are really cool and are so expensive from over the years. When they rev them and fix them up and turn them into Ecto-1 and Ecto-1 A is fantastic and awesome.
This was a really interesting video and dig that caddy man. Nice to see someone saving those cars.
“Everybody can Relax I Found the Car, Needs some Suspension Work, Some Shocks, and Break Pads.”
“How Much?”
“Only 48 Hundred”
Is there anything that works? Air conditioning works.
This would be beautiful just restored in black
Can you imagine stopping a 7000 pound Hearse with those drum brakes? Would rather see it in it's original glory but great of you to save it, even for 50 grand as is
That has been my dream car since I could remember
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.
We're going to take this awesome old hearse and fuck it up
that's right
Some of the earliest ambulance services WERE the funeral homes. They used the same cars. The high tops came later.
One of my first jobs at the age of 12 was washing Cadilacs at a Cadillac dealership in San Francisco. I was always afraid I would slip in the soap suds and they would find me impaled on the back fins.
You sir are 1000 IQ
Can't believe how big these cars were back then lol
I've often heard that the '59 Cadillac has the tallest fins of any production car; but I'd have to say the 1960 Plymouth Fury has to be a close second.
I love that van
Video bob is too cool. I’m here all busted up and watching all his videos while I heal.
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
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.
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.
I can't believe you're going to turn that into a damn ghostbusters car. That's absolutely sacrilegious.
I totally agree and especially the one that was used for funerals. He already has one and is going to ruin another one.
It’s been two years! What progress have you had on that car?
I’ve seen one of those go for about $400,000 it was ridiculous
YOU CAN NOT PARK THAT HERE!
I wouldnt like to park that thing like between 2 cars
Great video movie car
Fan in uk here the Michael Keaton batmobile was my favourite as a kid
I would want the ecto 1, the bttf DeLorean or herbi the love bug.
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.
Yes, ECTO-1 was an "ambulance", the car was a Futura Combo, used as both a hearse or an ambulance. So both are true.
Thought it was a ambulance like but it was black with the blue lights on top at front
Hudson
I understand the 4 wheel disc,but why not rebuild the 390?
I wanted one of these so bad as a kid.
I'd love it if you guys built the Ecto 1-A.
Excellent job
Too bad they all got to be turned into ghostbuster cars.
>:( if it weren’t for the ecto 1 these would be forgotten…. Be great full they still exist. If it weren’t for ghostbusters you wouldn’t even know about this
@@Braykinbad
True
Plus there is still a couple that aren’t converted but they wouldn’t even be cared for if it weren’t for ghostbusters 😅😮😤
why don't you use a regular 59 caddy and craft fins on the 60`s ?
since the 59 are so rare
Has anybody wanted the beat up Cadillac from the beginning to change it up?
Maybe if you take the rear end of the “dead’’ junked 1960 Miller or the roof of it and fuse it to a regular Cadillac of the same year or 59 to make a makeshift ecto 3
I’m gonna get this And Make It To The Hospital And Ecto-1
You should turn it into the Ecto 1A. I mean you do have a ecto 1 already and nobody ever shows the Ecto 1A love. Lol
Nice
The windshield is so rare
Good thing Bob wasn't too 'lax when he was introducing the '60 MM in the garage... He would have gotten 'impaled' by the rear fin tip if he casually leaned up on it while talking about the new GB movie in the works.
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.
Just love those body lines and curves.. 🥰 on that car..
ghostbusters is my favorite movie, but its a damn shame to turn this beauty into an ecto car
not really- there's more out there, and this one is BEAT. If you restore something, do what you want.
A damn shame? Wtf u talking about. The ecto1, is a fucking beautiful car.
@@bronyferienminuet2125not when there’s 9 million of them
I didn't realize you support ASD. I'm on the spectrum and since I've seen "Ready Player One", I've thought to ask about "Ecto-88". Any chance of doing the "novel" accurate Parzival DeLorean?
Dan Ghostbusters ray el hombre 👨 que el tiempo que es el que
I would keep the patina and the wheels. Lower the suspension a couple inches and restore the interior and original motor or add an LS motor like an Icon Derelect car. For fun put removable Ghostbuster symbols on the doors.
This was 2½ years ago, any update ?
Ohhh i want it
Hey! I just got diagnosed with VB. (VideoBob). What a rush....
How do you get away driving ecto1 around with blue lights? It's illegal i asked a chp from Texas and ca.
No cop is gonna pull over Ecto 1. I feel it just gets a pass.
Harold Ramis won’t be there...😭
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
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!
Only 4800
"Everybody can relax, I found the car!"
@@lonewolf9390 Hey! You can't park that there!
Insert “who you gonna call” joke here.
I just bought the movies the original first 2 😀✌🍻adding to the old movie collection I need back to the future collection to
Don't get the 2016 trash. But get Ghostbusters Afterlife and The Real Ghostbusters and the other animated Ghostbusters series and u complete.
So Bob, is the new Caddie going to be a replica of the Ecto-1A from GB2?
You should be able to take the remake quarter panels off the 59 and put them on a 60
Any progress on it yet?
Need an update bob please ???
Was this the car Dracula drove in the movie the monster squad?
No he drove a 1961 Cadillac Funeral Coach : >
I had mentioned on the other ghost buster 60 caddy video about the little fin, ,,now would be a good time to make a mold of the 59 big ass fins,,,while it's still fugly,,,lol....even though I'd rock that 59 the way it is all day long
Les Faust do you know how commas work?
@@orangecayman520 ..not when I've had a few drinks..lol
why haven't you built this thing yet Bob?
''It's Miller time''. Was that a reference to ECTO 1?
I wouldn't pay more than $4800
How did you find it? What is it like now?
I' like ecto-1
❤❤❤❤
E uno dei quattro modelli di Cadillac preferiti la compresero prima o poi ma la tengo originale e la farei di colore verde
restore the 390 engine!?!?!?!?!?!
Hey Brother just a crazy question but you wouldn't happen to have another one of those Cadillacs in buildable condition you wouldn't mind selling off to a true Ghostbusters fan would you?
I adore hearses...please don't turn it into a Ghostbusters clone.
I would agree with you if it was in pristine condition. But since somebody didn't take care of it. And now needs to be totally restored. Turning it into an Ectomobile is okay by me.
I really want one those
It wasn't a hearse it was an ambulance
It's an embulanc, it has a sion on it when it was delivered.
I wats going to Buy that car... Lol It Easy from a rest place called "Bravo". In Morelia, muy hometown. He wanted 400k. $20k usd. 😉👍
Me wanty.
No, dude. You don't understand. I would go so far, may even further, as to throw small children and little people down wells for one.
. The car restored stock would look better , to me. I used to have a '66 Pontiac Bonneville Hearse/Ambulance. Had it for 22 years. Just sold it. One thing would always PISS ME OFF is when somebody would say ," hey it's the Ghostbuster car". Wrong color, wrong year, wrong make and wrong model. And they would also say , oh a Hearst with a T. It's not a G.D. Shifter. Where do you see a T in Hearse ? Mine was a Superior built car. Nice video.
Hola bob shop birthday 🎂 for me 18 older man me tall man 👨
it's not rusty junk,
And then the world went to shit......
How much would you sell this for if you was ever going to sell it as is?
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.
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!
@@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! 😂
ghaleon128
It’s nowhere near 7K lbs.
Bob, find me a car like that and let me know!!!is the 1960 Still for sale?
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
Videobob Moseley Yeah I know, the restoration part I am willing to do, Just finding one is the hard part, Hell even a 1960-61 model is hard to find, Well I keep looking and if I win Some lottery , I will visit you ;)
Will you add heated seats
I would like to get one and make it the ecto-1 but then I realized they are hearses and they carried dead people...
Makes you kinda uncomfortable doesn’t it, but then again if I were a spirit haunting a hearse I’d love it to be turned into an ectomobile.
That’s fitting for the ecto 1 I’m saying this while sitting in the spot where my grandpa passed away
they are also pretty rare with only about 400 ever made let alone survived
I love the 2016 Ghostbuster I can't wait to see the 2021 I'm going to go crazy😁😁😍
Same 😂
2016 ghostbusters was poop
Answer the Call is not a real Ghostbusters movie. The new movie has squat to do with it thankfully.
this call resembles how the Ghostbusters 1st got the car!
I'd like to have the 2016 Ectomobile!
From that movie it was a hearse before it was made into ecto.
The 59 miles better
@@Christophersanchez1326 it was both was a combo it had the blue lights on top
@@micjubba709 my fault for not typing the 2016 car was just a hearse.. 🤭
Wish I could intern at your company! I would love to learn more about prop building, cars and restoration on them!!
As a ghostbusters purist I admire your work on that 1960 but will not except an incorrect fabrication, it must be the 59 and I acknowledge that you have an idea what you're talking about but if you are going to do somthing you have to do it right.
I would return the 1960 to stock and pour all my heart into the 59 if I were them
The ambulance is the white .hearse is black ..ecto was black
1500 bucks for the class 10 fan package
I'd rather just see it restored instead of turning it into that.
👌👍👍👍
Shit I'd pay $100,000 for one in that condition 😂
Same I would love one of these
Really?
Would u be interested in selling this?
He once made $25,000 just to park it for one night. Why would he sell it to anyone?
If he were to sell it he would probably sell it for over 300k it cost 200k to make one screen accurate just for the hearse itself about 15 to 20k
These can be had for 5-600.00 bucks.
LMAO no they can’t
@@JacobSeed_2018 There were only 25 of the '59 Meteor Miller ever built, & the Ecto mobiles are limos, so even more rare. Surely worth more than a few hundo.
Bob some clown is selling an Ecto 1 build on eBay ... for $475,000!!!
lol, saw that ad too! and then came to this video XD
Ollé by chance you do not have an extra one and that you sell it to me if you do not know somewhere where I can get it, it does not matter if it is rusty, I want it
It is hard to find them
