Who You Gonna Call? Superfan Creates Replica Ghostbusters Car
SUBSCRIBE to the Barcroft network: / @ridiculous-rides
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.

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*
Yeah, we watched and listened to the video too.
I mean if he couldn't find the car That he's looking for Who should he call?
@@RennieAsh Ghostbusters!
😮😂 ECTO-1s siren 🚨 is EVERYTHING!!❤👻
Nothing stands out more than the ECTO 1.
apart from 80's batmobile
@@paulod27 I think ecto 1 stands out more just because of the bright, happy colors and the siren
The Delorean maybe?
@@MrChrisrwwatts Yeah, that’s an iconic car from the 80’s too that would be recognized anywhere.
one of the hardes cars to make a fan replica of that is for sure
One of thee coolest things on planet Earth... Hands down...
Tracy Explores would love this
nonono... it IS the best
MR FISH
No way.
BUSTIN MAKES ME FEEL GOOD
The Ladyblog_0306 😘

@@talkdattrashimmapullyacard4396 creep
It sure does 😊 It feels GREAT!!!
B U S T I N. A. N U T
God hearing that siren for real in the distance...❤❤
คถค
Yep, Doppler effect
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!
omg the lady's reaction when she first saw it!!! 😂😂😂😂
the ecto-1 has The best siren ever!!!!!
it certainly does there is an app for android to plug this siren into your car's system! :-)
Ecto 1 siren. get it from Aptoide :-)
an emergency vehicle light and siren company named Phoenix now makes a real one
The best everything ever.
Wow! I Love this car! I love the siren sound your!
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.
no
Good luck

just for your discretion, Egon Spengler (Harold Ramis) has already died.
Dan Aykroyd and Bill Murray would be so proud :)
Ether Fever harold and ernie would too

"It's like a Jigsaw puzzle without instructions" Has anyone ever bought a jigsaw puzzle with instructions?
+juntistik Exactly what I thought when he said that I was like "Where do you live? Hell, I'd love to get those annoying ass puzzles done with instructions."
more like a model kit without instructions
don't think they exist
Like a lego set without instructions
There are numbered jigsaw puzzles
Well, the interior shots of the Ghost Busters fire house were actually filmed in downtown LA.
Almost crying seeing this beauty ! Outstanding !
As a huge Ghostbusters geek, how did I never see this until now?? That's one of the most awesome things I think I've ever seen, and the effort involved showed true dedication. Absolutely incredible.
Woman run away after hearing the screaming 😲😂 2:48
Hamad Ali
Good catch ahahahahahahahah!!!
i want to hug it, i want to drive it, all of the love
I can watch ghostbusters million times . I love it
"It's like a jigsaw puzzle without any instructions" 1:24 just let that sink in for a second...
I wasn't even born yet when the 1st movie came out. I don't remember the first time I saw the movie but I will always remember the joy it brought me. and also wishing that I had gotten the toys.
Dear Santa.....
I use to love this car as a kid.
I think I could cry only seeing it !
Dang thats sweet this is a true fan
This, Knight Rider & the A-Team van...pure class 😁👍...guaranteed to raise a smile...!!!
That's crazy if you think about how many vehicles were actually characters in the stories and movies they were in...that went away too!?
@@monolithgeometry3221 ...Yes so many characters back in the 80s...and now 3 decades on....character is lost...!!!
Would love to see this side by side of the real restored one! Great job
I have one of the film used mr. stay puffs costumes made for the first movie! We just love him!
Damn, this a fantastic job!
That's awesome he has such a supportive wife!
3:51 , that van has the word CANDY spray painted on it.
Simply spectacular
The 80s and 90s toys were The best.....🔥🔥🔥
Funny You should Say that.....They Only made Toys for the Cartoon "The real Ghostbusters", not Movie toys
@@pedroproductions3666 no they didn’t, they made toys that came out the same year as the movie
@@pedroproductions3666 well actually the toys for the movie came out in 1986 the same year as the real ghostbusters but that’s because they needed to get the rights from Columbia pictures for the toys that’s why on the stay puft marshmallow man it says 1984 on his foot because it’s based off the movie.
@@dimebagdarrell2390 kzhead.info/sun/gtCEfNyDpmZrlmw/bejne.html Ok....Since you're stubborn, this Video talks about THAT and more, Then we can talk.
He makes people happy with that car. A beautiful work sir!
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.
I luv that siren
Ecto 1 just makes you smile.
Love it can't wait for 2020 new Ghostbusters movie
Love how the car was restored .
Ooooh.....Yeeeeaaah!..keeping it old school!!
Thank god its not the horrible new one.
kcin1523 shhhhh we don’t talk about that movie
kcin1523 as far as anyone is concerned, that thing doesn't exist.
that thing is a disgrace to humanity
Instead of the Unmentionable Movie, and the Ecto -1, try this one on for size: kzhead.info/sun/gdeyYJqmZKGjpZ8/bejne.html
Ikr
Love seeing the fire fighters having fun with it as well.
Sooooo awesome! Great to see a replica that really is all-in on accuracy with no corners cut 👍😎
I love that he even dresses the part! ❤😊
i remeber watching ghostbuster when i was around 2 or 3 as a little kid (duh). and seeing this is amazing. that was about 9 or 10 years ago since i first saw the movie
that ecto is on point! and i'm loving that blue lightbar and ambulance siren hope to see one in person someday
That's a perfect replica
Not quite, the real thing has a slightly lower siren and is a 1959 Cadillac hearse ambulance duo not manufactured and never was.
RESPECT!!
the ecto 1 always brings a smile on my face its beautiful
ух как же это круто)) как то увидел в Москве Де Лориан и был неописуемо Счастлив) - даже когда он был без полного обмундирования)) - могу представить эти Эмоции, как людей, так и этих ребят что сделали эту Машину)) Молодцы)
Видел подобный автомобиль в районе Крокус-Экспо в 2019 году во время вылетов вертолетов с выставки. kzhead.info/sun/aLmudaaDbYiYoYk/bejne.htmlsi=PAXZ71su6BEjHXsX
I love how you see all the adults have fun and take pictures with their childhood car
who you gonna call? love it... hope there will exist more people and carbodies of this type to make more copies for all the fans in the world,
wow.wow.wow..great,awesome..good job bro..
me: when you start fanboying to the point where you show no emotion
Wow that’s so cool! We built an Ecto1 golf cart for our ghostbusters parody.
That has to be the coolest car I have ever seen. No question about it. You did an incredible job!
TFW you realise there's millions of people out there that ghostbusters meant just as much to as you : * )
Fantastic job!
Truly AWESOME!!! Love it! ❤️
Wow, what a beautiful Vehicle. Great job!!!. I love Movie-Cars & FDNY
Congratulations I Love the vehicle. You sure do make us feel like little kids again. I was 8 when Gohstbusters 1 movie was out.
Incredible replica! Looks exactly like the one in the movie.
I saw one online for 2500. Still running
DUDE WHAT A CHAD I NEED SOMETHING LIKE THIS
Wow, excellent work!!!
I saw this same car at a car show once I screamed when I saw it becuz I luv ghostbusters ❤️❤️🚫👻
It's just perfect!... Very nice work indeed!
Worth it
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
Why wasn't this guy made a Ghostbuster??? He's earned it. :-))
Yeah, this is Winning the Lottery goals right here.
What a beautiful car and work this guy did, true fan
TOP JOB MAN WELL DONE!!!
Right on "!! ..... glad to see this car on KZhead. Im in Denver if you ever come here?
Sick!!
I love the Ghostbusters
This is awesome! .
Epic work
Most beautiful car !
:-D Classic! This will NEVER be corny.
Beauty at its best OG ECTO1
I've seen an Ecto 1 replica car driving through PA about a decade ago.
It was AWESOME making the trip to NYC to get this all on film!!! It was a great experience I hope to do again this Halloween or next. I'm glad you all have enjoyed this video. Be sure to stop by my channel for more videos of the Ect-OHIO along with my other cars, and oh, by the way...when I said a jigsaw puzzle without instructions, I was referring to the picture on the box being the "instructions", not written ones :D
Very correct, and made from the right Miller Meteor. I've seen a nice one at a show - but it was built from a Superior, so it didn't look quite correct. Excellent (and big) job.
FANTASTIC!
Who's here after watching ghost busters afterlife.... Me
yes
Me too.
yo!
Sameee!
I just watched the trailer at least 20 minutes ago
That is some awesome nostalgia!
I just recently bought the LEGO Ecto-1 set from Bricklink and i absolutely LOVE IT.
Aww this video was great. So wholesome.
Amazing!
Soooooo freaking cool. Who you gonna call
Fantastic.
I thought I never every detail of that car since childhood but I totally missed the white strobes
Amazing job. 1959 Miller-Meteors are very hard to find.
That looked awesome..... fantastic job
loch ness yes awesone job guys..just like the original.😊
Love that Ghostbuster fan.
so cool
3:58 goes gets me food
Great job mate
awesome, just awesome
Very cool the car after all was one of the stars of the movie in my opinion
