Not sure if this has been discussed here before, but what would everyone think of an Ecto-1 replica based on the original concept? By that I mean pretty much just the Ecto-1 we all know and love, except a black car with purple & white emergency lights. Not sure if anyone has ever done that or what, I just feel like that would be pretty cool. Of course it wouldn't HAVE to be a Cadillac Miller-Meteor, it could be another ambulance/hearse, or a Dodge Magnum, or any other car really.

Thoughts?

You just described the original concept for the Ecto-1, it was changed from black and purple to red and white because most of the shots of it were at night.

And yes several black ectos exist, caddy's suvs and others.

Would be cool as an exercise in creativity, but holds no value as a replica car because only like a hundred people in the whole world would ever see and go "Oh hey neat, that's just like that one image and paragraph in the concept art book for Ghostbusters."
