From what I gather, there are not many left. Most CNG vehicles are coming from the factory done, unlike years past when almost all conversion were aftermaket. With the reinsterest in alternative fuels, their might be more soon.
Biggest thing is to pay someone else for a full system conversion, I have seen prices between $5,000-$10,000. Sad part is you can pick up the parts themselves for less then $1,000, not including the tank. This is all new parts. Find deals on used stuff, a few hundred bucks could get you going outside of the filling problem.
The government just does not make it easy for the individual to use alternitive powers. I guess seeing some of the hack jobs people do to vehicles, I can't blame them. I wish there was a way I could the conversion myself, then have it inspected and certified. Keeps the cost down but makes sure the system is safe.
Good luck.
