The best solution is to buy a pre-'66  ( a REAL bus by any standard :)

There are shops that can help you get it passed, though....

Another caveat - California charges some $300 fee to register your
vehicle here, in addition to the normal extravagant fees.  It might be
easier overall to just keep it registered in Virginia.

Welcome to Sacramento!  Welcome to California!
