You’d never know that down an unmarked, unpaved road lives a barn-find collection that would melt any car enthusiast’s face off. Dodge Daytonas,a Plymouth Superbird,big block Chevys,Ford Thunderbirds,an L-82 Corvette with under 10 miles, DeTomaso Pantera... and the list goes on... and on... an on! This is the episode of Barn Find Hunter you've been waiting for.

Meant Robby the Robot

Robby the Robot from Forbidden Planet owned classic cars?

[Iscool]

A most awesome collection...My favorite was the ‘58 Impala...

[Boomer]

The 1968 vette or the pantera. Pick.

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.

[Figment]

“It was not much to look at”

Had a girlfriend like that once, but she was a great cook

[BunnySlippers]

Nooooo, my family owned Robby the Robot. And his car.

[ETL]

Nooooo, my family owned Robby the Robot.

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.

[ETL]

I was curious as to what other films and TV shows he was in, and found this long list...

Love the cars but I think “barn find” is stretching it. This is just a collector that leaves his vehicles sitting under cover without really doing anything to them. A real “barn find” would be one that someone parked and then forgot about and it turns up later after the relatives bury him.

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".

[Pollard]
