Here are a few pictures of a Lincoln Mint 69 Pontiac GTO that I just completed.  It looks a lot like a DM, but without as many features.  Yet it turned out well and will display nicely.

If you can find these kits, buy them. They come pre-painted and build into very nice display pieces.

I apologize John if I stole your thread. My only intention was to add to the topic.

I think I've led a sheltered life.  I've never heard of either Lincoln or Washington Mint models.  They look like they would be well worth adding to my collection if were I were able to find them.

Bob, no problem.  Just to add to your thread, I have the one shown, a Yellow one, and blue one.  Also the other kits you show, I had built years ago.  They were also sold as Classic Metal Works already assembled.

George, you can find them on ebay.  That is where I got a lot of mine.

Those look like some really nice models. I've seen the Torino before and have even considered buying one, but I've not seen the GTO-but I have the DM version, so I probably wouldn't look twice at it.

Great job in the assembly and detailing.

It fooled me, looks just like the DM version. Nicely done!

@jcarnutz  John:  These are testors/Lincoln Mint models.  These are their top of the line diecast kits.  The Torino is nice but not with as many detailing parts.  You can find them on ebay from time to time.
