Universal did not have anything with the original production. It was a collaboration of Black Rhino Productions, Columbia Pictures Corporation (now owned by Sony) and Delphi Productions.

Also, Universal Studios Florida did not open until 1990. The Ghostbusters and Men In Black attractions where some of the licensed movies used for the park. The Ghostbusters Spooktacular live stage show ran from 1990 to 1996, when it was replaced by Twister…Ride or Die.

Technically, it is the REAL UNIVERSAL STUDIOS car, but NOT the SCREEN USED Ghostbusters MOVIE car.

;-)

I belive this is the car from the old Universal Studio Theme Park attraction, not the original from the movie. The title saying Universal Studios Florida would seem to uphold that. I would almost bet that if you saw the full title, that the date would be within a year or so before that attraction opened up.

The real Ecto-1 (there was only one made for the movie) was restored by Sony and is being used for the promotion. That would make this a replica, and not the original.

The company that restored the original for Sony was Cinema Vehicles out of North Hollywood California. http://www.cinemavehicles.com

Okay, now maybe I can forget about this!

Also there’s the fact that there was more than one movie, increasing the likelihood that more than one “official” car exists.

Add the fact that it is under the Replica/Kits section of Ebay, and I would be real wary of this. The listed phone number is for a of well know car collector, and that fella has a repo-Adam West Batmobile.

I’d just be real careful, sa’ll I’m saying. ;-)

but that belongs in a museum
