In general, any pre-Series II (Series II typically indicates the presence of a Swartz firing pin safety) Kimber is seen as desirable. Some early models may be marked with a Clackamas, Oregon stamp, but all Kimber 1911's have been made in Yonkers, New York.
Mine is not for sale. It is on its third hammer, second sear, the Marine Armorers at Camp Perry installed the last sear and GI trigger bow. I have short fingers and prefer the shorter trigger.

It's kind of the same thing, isn't it? If they are more desired, and the supply is limited (because they aren't making any more), it will typically sell at a premium.
Kimber collectors all want Clackamas, Oregon stamped on their guns.
Edit to add: My post is directed towards someone who collects stuff, rather than the intrinsic quality of the machine.
Kimber's pre-Series II guns have a very good reputation for parts and assembly. Around the time of the Series II introduction (and their external extractor problems), and later pistols, Kimber took somewhat of an image hit. Remember, Ron Cohen, the guy folks like blame for SIG's problems, was at Kimber before going to SIG.
