1959 Ford F-100 Ghostbusters Ecto-100 / Ecto-1 Movie Replica Truck 35th

Description

“This is it, this is definitely it!”

Those infamous words couldn’t be more true with this beautiful Ghostbusters Ecto-1 inspired Ectomobile replica truck. Dubbed the Ecto-100 to represent the Ford F100 used to build this one-of-a-kind ride, the classic styleside pickup is the same 1959 model year (appropriately), as the Cadillac Hearse converted to an ambulance in the original Ghostbusters films.

Unfortunately, due to lack of sufficient finances and time needed with the arrival of a new addition to our family, this beast of a classic truck won’t be seeing daylight for quite some time. Thus, I’m selling this beauty to make sure it gets into the right hands of someone willing to take it out at car shows, conventions and charity events.

I could write a novel about the blood, sweat, tears and money put into this project vehicle, but I figured it would be easiest to just put all the details into list format. If you are truly interested in purchasing the vehicle and you have any questions or would like any additional photos, please don’t hesitate to let me know! I have most of the receipts from work done.

NOTE***: This is NOT a perfect or pristine restoration of a Ford F100. The engine, 4-wheel drive, along

with some other parts are not original Ford parts, and some that are Ford parts may not necessarily be

specific to this model. There are also a few minor things that will need to be fixed/replaced at some point

in time, but nothing major. All items requiring maintenance are listed below. This is a completely custom

truck with custom fabrication made to resemble the Ghostbusters Ecto-1 as closely as possible.
