It's time to scrap the bus. Don't move it, renovate, preserve. Just junk it.  There is nothing special about what he did, nothing magical or to be admired. He set out into notoriously rough wilderness.  He set out woefully underprepared. He blatantly ignored the wisdom of others and for whatever reason he chose to continue on in a foolhardy fashion.  It's not a legacy, it's not something to be admired. It's a wasted life, full of potential and cut short because of foolish behavior.  There's nothing admirable about risking one's life for a thrill or for a taste of adventure.  And if that bus is acting as some sort of twisted tourist attraction, luring equally foolhardy visitors into danger and costing the state previous funds that could be utilized elsewhere then it is time for it to go.
