They probably would have had a higher bid if they turned on the roof lights during the sale

The Ecto-1 mainly used in GB: Afterlife is the original Ecto-1A complete with real rust, they just converted it back to look like the original 1984 Ecto-1, just with a few mods.

@gerv55 Жыл бұрын

Yup, some stuff like the propello ray light doesnt work, and the 2 front round lights stay on constantly instead of pulsing on and off. Some oversights for sure.

Seriously? I didn't know that. That's complete disrespect to the Ecto 1a. How they gonna do the 1a like that? I love the Ecto 1, I just wish the Ecto 1a got the same love as the Ecto 1.

@SpaceWizardCosplay Жыл бұрын

@@BrokenInside365 - Yes, it was confiremd that the original Ecto 1-A was used for the Afterlife Ecto 1 - and it will be used again for the next GB movie (Afterlife sequel) which is slated to release December next year. (It was officially confirmed at Ecto Fest this past June by director Jason Reitman)

I am aware that 1959 Cadillac Miller-Meteor Futura Duplex cars aren't easy to come by nowadays, but if I were fortunate to come across one in good condition on the outside and inside a little rusted that someone wanted to sell at a fair reasonable price, I would definitely buy it, take it off of their hands and convert it into my very own film-accurate replica of the Ecto-1A down to the last detail and I would use the Haynes Ecto-1 Owner's Workshop Manual to have something to go by.

5:32 😂 why dose it look so funny to see the 1A being pushed?? But I'm also not really a fan of all the bright colours that their set has tbh... (I like Barrett Jackson's mostly black set better, as you can actually concentrate on the cars themselves - especially with something as much colour as the 1A, it's colours kind of clashed with the sets bright yellows and reds) It was also funny how they pushed the mystery machine so they weren't in the shot

What do you mean you can't see the floor or "get an eye on it" because it is coated so much... Dude. if there wasn't a floor, how would they have coated it. Also none of that coating bonds to rust anyway. So, there's no way there wouldn't be a floor or that it would be in such poor condition that you'd have to worry.

@DYFEA 8 ай бұрын

That type of coating can act like a bag and contain any moisture that gets under it if it's done wrong, and when it's caked on it can be hard to tell if it's happening or not. But the cars very clean so hard to imagine it was done poorly
