As Eric said, VTA has an old look painted in NCL (fruit salad) colors,
and it IS the last 4512 built.
Golden Gate Transit literally just auctioned off the very last of their
fishbowls/new looks.  However, they have kept 816 (T8H5305A) and will
restore it, although it is runnable now.  Their last new look run was
made in early February, this year.  They have already restored
an ex-Greyhound "queen", stick shift style old look that used to run
between SF and Marin County, San Anselmo, San Rafael, Manor. That is
in beautiful, runnable condition.  AC Transit has a couple of ex
Key System buses -- 4509 and one of the 40 replacements to the Key
System Bridge Units, both in fuit salad colors.  San Mateo Transit does
not have anything to my knowledge.  Sacramento has one old look.  

There is also the PACIFIC BUS MUSEUM which has a fairly good collection
of buses from No. and So. California, including restored ex Peerless
Stages #246.  You can see pictures of this, and others on my web site:

hope that helps.
