Have you invesigated the smog issue?  A friend brought his '80 Westy to
California from Montana intending to sell it here. Not having been
manufactured for sale in California the vehicle is lacking emissions
equipment required by the CA DMV. Estimates to bring the thing up to code
were around $1200 - $1500 - and that's with no gurantee that it would pass
the actual emissions test even then. He'll be driving it back to Montana to
sell it there most likely... unless any listers are interested...
