With enough money, anything can be bought.

Well, anything but taste.

I'd get a Del Sol. Wouldnt the frame on the have to be beefed up on the bottom to take the frame work off the top away?

Ever wonder why a del sol is heavier than a hatch of the same year, even though the sol has a shorter wheelbase? It's all the weight in the bottom chassis section to help get back some of the lost stiffness from the targa top. Sols are similar enough that you could transplant the top, frame, and doors onto a coupe probably, but you'd still have to reinforce the crap out of the chassis. A T Top setup is much more ideal, you still keep some of the roof integrity.
