Superfan Converts SUV Into ‘Ghostbusters’ Iconic Ecto-1

A Massachusetts man has taken his love for “Ghostbusters” to the next level, converting his Toyota Rav-4 into the famed Ecto-1 from the 1984 smash hit, according to WBZ News.

Ethan Tripp, a New Bedford resident, has skillfully refashioned his Toyota with the iconic Ghostbusters logo, lights and sirens. He even equipped the machine with proton packs in the back, WBZ reports.
