I personally haven't seen anything with a complete donor frame. What you're probably seeing are designs that list donor frame components, e.g. suspension parts, rear axles, engines, trans, etc. Examples include BMW, Jaguar, Ford Mustang, Corvette, etc. But the mainline brands mentioned here all have their own custom frame around these components. Sometimes they are donor (e.g. used) but many times also new components from those brands.
Your budget is going to limit your selection to only a few options, e.g. something started but not finished, already completed basic build, etc. Nothing wrong with that. Just be patient. There are some good deals out there. New of any brand is probably out of reach.
