If you answered yes to that question, then here's your chance. A replica of the famous ghost-busting vechicle is currently up for grabs on ebay. Unfortunately, this Ecto-1 wasn't the original that was used in the movie, but it was an official replica that was made specifically for use at Universal studios.
In August of 2006 I purchased the original Universal Studios Ecto-1. The car was stripped of all the Ghost busting equipment and sold as an ambulance and with a little negotiation I was able to get all of the roof rack parts and the original light bars. This car was used at the park for over fifteen years for the Ghostbusters Experience, parades and display inside the Florida park. This car is one of three Sony/MGM authorized Ghostbusters 1959 Cadillac Miller Meteor Ecto-1. There are the two original cars used in the films and this one built exclusively for the Universal Studios Theme parks. This car has a rich history and thousands of fans have been photographed with this car.
This is about as close as you can possibly get to the official movie version of Ecto-1. And it's apparently in really good condition. The current bid on the car as I write this is $27,600. If I had tons of spare cash, I'd totally pick this up in a second. But sadly, I'm a poor man and cannot afford such a wonderful thing.
