Robby the Robot from Forbidden Planet owned classic cars?
A most awesome collection...My favorite was the ‘58 Impala...
That Vette might be worth more but I've always had a thing for Pantera's. Because of that, of the two, I would still pick the Pantera. Even though I've had lots of Chevy's and Ford's; I lean hard Ford these days but do miss my old 98 C5 Vette.
There was a mid 80’s Grand Prix in there.
Watched it again and I saw the Pontiac. It was not much to look at.
“It was not much to look at”
Had a girlfriend like that once, but she was a great cook
Nooooo, my family owned Robby the Robot. And his car.
Seriously?? Wow! For which time frames? In more recent years, or during his "heyday" in the 50s and 60s?
I remember him in a few other shows besides the classic sci-fi film Forbidden Planet, such as Lost In Space and The Twilight Zone.

What if the collector had died and had no one to leave it to, or had lost or abandoned the property for one reason or another? In that case, if someone stumbled upon the collection, I think it should still be considered a "barn find".
The guy is a typical hoarder........LOL!
Just curious, do you remember who you bought them from?
Sure did
