Ghostbusters ECTO-1 and Southern Belle Ghostbusters

When the movie "Ghostbusters" premiered in 1984, it became the highest-grossing film of the year.  The iconic Caddy, known as ECTO-1 or the Ectomobile, was loaded with all manner of spirit-hunting equipment and sported the now-famous "no ghosts" emblem on each front door. One of the finest examples of an ECTO-1 tribute car belongs to Barrie J. Clark of Fort Mill, South Carolina. Clark and his team spent more than 3,500 hours restoring a 1974 Cadillac Miller-Meteor hearse and outfitting it with a monstrously large 472ci 7.7L V-8 (for those urgent exorcisms). Clark's ECTO-1, is fully equipped with a custom ectoplasm containment system, ecto goggles, and loudspeakers that play the otherworldly warning siren from the first movie. The roof rack is stacked high with wraith-wrangling apparatus, most of which was handmade by Clark.
