Not Ranked
"Desirability" with CSXs is usually based around time. The older the car, the more people want it. 4200 cars are "more valued" than 4750 cars. In turn, 4100 cars are more valued than 4200 cars, and 4000 cars are more valued than 4100 cars. The same theory applies to original CSXs as well most times.
As for "Las Vegas" cars, the truth is, they were unassembled Shelby component cars, that were ordered by Autorized Shelby dealers, and built by said dealers. For example, my CSX4241 is considered an "early LV" car, but it was ordered and built by HRE Motorcars (the first Shelby 4000 car dealer).
So build quality and assembly will vary based on who built the early LV car. The base parts were the same for the same time period of car. Like my car has Shelby/BAER brakes on it, but earlier 4000 cars than mine had original spec Girling brakes. Things like that affect the value and worth of a CSX car.
The 4750 cars are very nice, but are also very modern. They have the latest in brake parts, and modern Bosch relays, fuses, and wiring, instead of the old Lucas stuff.
So really, what car is more "desirable" comes down to what you actually want in a car.
