Default No rolling 964 cabriolet chassis?

Why can't I find any 964 cabs for sale with no motor or blown motor? Also hopefully bad top as mine is new! (Not that Picky haha)
I figured there would be many out there. Usual Porsche salvage places don't have much, rather be private party anyways.
I need another! Help!

I feel that these cars are valuable enough (money and sentiment-wise) that people tend to repair them when they are wrecked or break, rather than sell them off in a broken state. At the complete opposite end of the spectrum, similar vintage BMWs are a dime a freaking dozen with no engines/transmissions/what have you...

I'll be selling my '92, but it's in tact.

I guess just hoping someone has a car with bad motor, and can't afford to fix, or they really wanted the motor to drop in a early car, something of that nature. I am sure something will pop up. Hope someone sees this post.

I guess it would depend on price, as targa is not my fav. Also not sure how easy to convert a tip into a manual.

Any conversion is easy when you have the donor and the recipient.
