@Ghostinthemachine Brand and model?
@Riemann The Ectomobile, or Ecto-1 is a 1959 Cadillac Miller-Meteor Futura Duplex limo-style endloader combination car (ambulance conversion) used in the 1984 film Ghostbusters and other Ghostbusters fiction.

In the mid 1970s my half brother bought one of these King-midgets and completely redesigned the guts of it.

I helped with it so I know exactly what he did. Pretty smart really.

Changed out the 9 HP engine. Put in a Brigs and Stratton 16 HP industrial engine that opperated at a steady RPM.

Because of steady RPM he changed out the variable belt transmission with a snowmobile "V" belt transmission so while engine operated that one RPM the torc converter offered a variable speed.

Finally he got experimental licensing so he could drive it on the freeways here.

It was slow yet funny riding in this little tiny car down the I5 freeway. A red little flag swaying and bumper sticker on back saying "Don't honk I'm peddling as fast as I can".

Thing actually did get up to 55mph perhaps a tiny bit faster.

Many people did honk, in fun, as well!


It was the same exact color as this! 🙃

I wish I could own a vintage car. Fucking emission laws.

I'll be a happy man if I have these in my garage.

@Riemann It can tbh. But the problem is my country's government is messed up.

They ban vehicles on the basis of age assuming that they have emissions but don't have facts.


This is my dad's motorcyle which is almost 30 years ago and still runs well. You'd be surprised that it's fairly cheap to maintain too as compared to newer vehicles. Nobody is going to accept or understand this. They'd rather cut down more trees for buildings that aren't needed than make rational laws.
Riemann · 31-35, M
@Beatbox34 That is odd. A certificate showing that the issue of emission is fixed should be sufficient.
Beautiful motorcycle btw.
Beatbox34 · 31-35, M
@Riemann That's exactly what I felt but sadly the country I live in is run by imbeciles.

I just have to live with it. Thanks though.

@SW-User The Blues Brothers used this. There is a nice article about Dan Ackroyd in this month's Cigar Aficionado.

@MikeSp oh yeah I'll check it out thanks!! I could certainly see myself cruising around in this beast 😀

1969 Buick Wildcat they had a speedometer that said 130 mph was the top end but you bury the needle and they would go much faster then that. Cheers and happy weekend!

@Nanoose Happy Weekend :)

@Degbeme Brand and model?
Beatbox34 · 31-35, M
@Riemann It's a shelby cobra.

Most probably a replica.
Riemann · 31-35, M
@MikeSp Nice. Brand and model?
MikeSp · 56-60, M

@Riemann It's a 92 Cadillac Allante. I sold her about four years ago with only 60k miles on the clock.
@Azlotto wow, you went easy on it!

@Ghostinthemachine Yes I did.
