I guess I am cornfused.
You buy the van in Miss. Complete the paperwork after ensuring all smog
equipment is still on the van (no 2 barrel carbs here please)... move it to
CA with it's Miss. title, get it smogged (no easy task for any Vanagon of
that age) and register it in CA. What am I missing? As far as the seller
being responsible for smogging it, that is up to you to enforce. The state
doesn't care as long as it passes smog.

Perhaps Ben T has some other ideas on this one.

BTW - I wish I could buy your van.. but I'll still be in Yoshi  land come
Saturday and the GF would kill me if another one showed up in our (her)
yard.
