Here is my in progress Ecto as it was for Halloween 2026. I’ve always liked the concept of a red Ecto-1 since I came across a bright red Ford Falcon wagon years ago I sadly missed out on. Now that this 2008 HHR is no longer our main family car, I knew it was time to make that dream a reality.
Taking bits from the 1A and the RGB Ecto and my plan is to continue that way. Simple roof rack, green and amber lights, matching orange tubes on each side, caution stripes etc. For example I plan on adding a sniffer but only the one barrel like RGB but also a silver tank on the back like the 1A.
