it won't be a CSI anymore

it will be an aglomeration of stuff with CSI as part of the paint job...only. Get some Serotta decals made, order a new custom (without the swaged tubes perhaps) and get a painter to replicate the paint job. Don't tell anybody and pretend you did the right/smart thing. And if you stick with your plan, enjoy that too.

I sort of understand where you are coming from. My friend inherited a 1973 Mercury Comet V8 when her parents passed away. It is in nice condition but not pristine. She has spent $2500 on it to get it driveable and wants to sell it for $6000 but will only sell it to the "right" person who will care for it as her parents did. To me it's a crappy old American not very interesting car. To her it has remarkable sentimental value. I think you and she are in the same boat.

However, as a counterpoint, there are no Serotta CSi for sale on eBay (globally) at the present moment.
