An unusual lot has appeared at the American Copart auction - Cadillac Commercial 1962, a copy of the legendary Ghostbusters Ectomobile. The seller set a minimum bid of $ 375,000. Not surprisingly, the car looks good and is on the move.

Exclusive lots are not so rare on Copart, most recently a 2019 Bugatti Chiron was sold there for $ 1.5 million. Large selection of Rolls-Royce models or used Polaris Slingshot for sale.

The Ecto-1 is the main vehicle for the franchise's heroes. In the 1984 film, Dr. Ray Stanz buys a Cadillac for $ 4,800 and then refurbishеs it based on the needs of the huntеrs. Interestingly, in none of the episodes is it shown why all the devices mounted on the roof of the car are needed.

The copy for sale has the same license plate as the ectomobile in Ghostbusters - “Ecto-1”. On it, you can turn on an easily recognizable siren: flashing beacons will flash, radars will turn.

The lot specifications indicate that the Cadillac is subject to normal wear and tear, with an odometer reading of 52,586 miles. The car is located in Nashville, Tennessee.

Earlier, on January 22, 2010, another copy of Ecto-1 from Universal Studios was sold at the Barrett-Jackson auction for $ 80,000. Another replica is in the George Barris collection, and a third is in the Museum of Historic Attractions in Roscoe, Illinois.

It can be assumed that the owner did not choose the time for the sale by chance. In November 2021, the movie Ghostbusters: Afterlife was released in the States. Perhaps old or new fans will want to buy an unusual and very rare Cadillac for much more than $ 375 thousand.
