Depends on the buyer.
If the buyer wants to own an authentic original real live imitation of a 1960's Cobra, then they'll pay more for the heavier original-style suspension. If the buyer isn't motivated by "originality" or "period correctness," and only desires a lightweight and increased strength CNC billet aluminum brake and suspension package (also with the battery in the trunk, where it should be for weight distribution), then they'll opt to buy "the billet crap."
The Kirkham's have made a lot of improvements to their cars over the years and customers do send their cars back for these updates. I'd fit into this category. If I'm buying an early car, like under production #100 or under #50 or #25 even, then I might be paying a premium for the low KMP serial number, but not the POS original-style suspension.
