A corporation's assets are typically worth more as an operating business than as a disjoint collection of vehicles and land, so the buyer would tend to be someone who wants to continue operating the business and would buy the whole thing. In many cases the value of the business would also exceed the liability, in which case the difference should presumably go to the original shareholders. They might then want to use that money to invest in the new business.

That is effectively what already happens. You're basically just asking for the amount of liability for particular behavior to be larger than it is, and then in more cases it would cause the corporation to go bankrupt and have to raise new capital in order to continue operating, because the result would be the same.
