I love the vehicle, but I am not crazy about the price. Is this a vehicle that is "worth more" as is because of its appearance in a movie, or is it more valuable restored?....if the answer is the latter, then a starting point of -$20,000 seems bit much....love the ambulance though!

The link will take you to a pic of the ambulance in the movie; the body appears similar to what it is now.
 
I don't generally bad-mouth a seller, but maybe he is the person getting high in the car. I mean seriously, just because someone sat in a car and got high in it, does not add value.

I never saw the movie....before my time....Belushi was a talented comedian...I agree with Ed that the fact that he pretended to, or actually used drugs in the car, adds no value. Belushi died as a result of drug abuse...nothing to celebrate! The ambulance on the other hand, now that is something to admire!
 
I would think that this thing would be worth $5000 on the top end in its present condition, regardless of its minor role in a movie.
