HELP WANTED
WE’RE CALLING YOU!
There are ghosts appearing all and we need over Summerville your help right
away! This is a to re-build the exciting opportunity Ecto-1 with some brand-
legendary new upgrades according to the plans we uncovered in a barn not far
from town. The car is literally in pieces though, in fact, and you’ll have the
honor of one by putting them back together.
HISTORY OF ECTO-1
Before getting our flagship Ectomobile back on the road, it’s important to understand a little background information on this 1959 Cadillac Miller- Meteor. Originally purchased by Dr. Ray Stantz for $4,800, this vehicle was perfect for our new paranormal investigation and elimination business. With the help of Dr. Egon Spengler, all the ghostbusting gear was added to make this the ultimate command vehicle. As you can see, the car has seen better days but if you are up for the task, we’re ready to believe you!
Nothing draws attention like our spectacular Ectomobile racing around with its lights blazing and siren screeching. You never know who or what you’ll meet at the other end!

PORTABLE COMMAND STATION
To some, it may look like a repurposed V8 1959 Cadillac Series 62 MillerMeteor with 360 horsepower and 4-speed automatic transmission. Which indeed it is. But to us, it’s also a roving HQ with a mobile laboratory and a portable arsenal containing every weapon at our ghostbusting disposal. Often imitated but never matched, the Ecto-1 has survived everything from catastrophic earthquakes to lava-hot marshmallow fluff! Now it’s your job to reassemble and overhaul it….
MIKE THE MECHANIC
Meet Mike Psiaki, Ghostbuster and LEGO® Ectomobile builder. He designed this latest update of the Ecto-1 and would have completed it if he hadn’t met with an unfortunate protonic reversal accident. His biggest challenge was capturing the complicated curves of the Cadillac with boxy LEGO elements. Like all true scientists, engineers, and LEGO builders, Mike was an ace at adapting and improvising. The ladder for his Ecto-1 came from 2 classic LEGO window frames stacked on top of each other, while the front grille is actually made up of more than 40 silver roller skates!
AUTOMOBILE OVERVIEW
Now that you’re up for the task, it’s time to take a deep dive into the particulars of our impressive quick-response vehicle and all its sophisticated equipment. The detailed schematic and reference materials contained over the next pages should allow you to move forward … hopefully at the wheel of a completed Ectomobile!
This model may only be a smaller-scale version of the real thing, but it’s got everything you need for ghostbusting! There are 2,352 pieces in this set.
Don’t panic! Take your time and follow the instruction manual. You can do this!
