I have been pulled over once in 72 bus.  It was two days after i bought it
and had not yet gotten it register(ie no plates).   I have quite long hair
and do some what resemple a hippy.   The cop gave me no hassle despite not
having plates, turnsignals and breaklights(break lights still don't work, no
switch in trans(suggestions??))

I am the 4th owner of my bus.  At somepoint i am going to rip out the
interior and look for a the lost things and drugs people got about.
There were days i worried about this.

Good luck
