A fan has recreated the famous Ghostbusters car ECTO-1 in hopes of hiring it out for a potential sequel.

Paul Harborne has spent years attempting to create an exact replica of the vehicle from the 1984 film.















Speaking to Metro, Harborne said that when he found the Cadillac that he used, "it was a complete wreck as it had been abandoned".

The movie buff said that he hopes that if a third film is ever made, he would like them to use his car.

Harborne's renovations were extensive, as he crafted the interiors from hand.

On the outside, the ghost-fighting vehicle has scrolling LED lights that spell out "Ghostbusters - We're back!" as well as speakers to hear the film playing on the DVD players inside.

Harborne added: "I've set up an iPod so that there are also genuine sirens and sounds coming from the car."

Previously, he made a version of the A-Team van from the 1983 television series.
