BTW, and I'm by no means an expert, the very early CSX4000's and Kirkham's, did have much of the original stuff like Lucas electrical components, Girling brakes, solid rotors, Smiths gauges and the hood and trunk hinges identical to the 3000 series cars.

If that stuff is important to a buyer, then the early CSX4000's and Kirkham's, to a lesser extent, would be more valuable. To the right buyer. I'm not the right buyer, since I prefer the stronger, lighter billet aluminum suspension, modern Speedhut gauges, battery in trunk, etc.
