Occasionally they come up for sale - usually by auction.
But most never do.
Some go into the company's museum (if it has one) or are displayed somewhere on company premises, or stored for futire use. Some are scrapped to save space. Some get damaged in shipping and aren't worth repairing.
A lot of them are "concepts", not proper working cars. So if you bought it, you wouldn't be able to drive it - it would just be a rather large ornament. Most of the working ones aren't road legal.

This past year a couple of 50's GM concept cars sold at Barrett-Jackson auction, they went for several MILLION bucks each. Even those cars were really never supposed to reach the public tho.
Chrysler actually sold a few of their Tomahawk Viper engined bikes privately, with the stipulation they not be registered for the road. I heard over $500,000 for each of them.
So, I guess it's possible but not realistic. These days most of the consept cars aren't even running, or capable. The mules they use to test out a concept car that might make it to production don't usually even have the consept car styling, they like them disquised from the press etc.
Every now and then GM sells off, in auctions, some one-off cars they don't want or have the room for.

If you had a boat load of money, but no normally concept cars are just for show.
