John Travolta’s character drove this 1964 cherry red Chevelle Malibu in the
movie, "Pulp Fiction" (1994).

VICTORVILLE, Calif. (AP) — Authorities say the classic Chevrolet convertible
featured in the film "Pulp Fiction" has been found nearly two decades after it
was stolen.

The San Bernardino County Sun reports movie director Quentin Tarantino’s
1964 Chevelle Malibu was recovered in the San Francisco Bay area earlier  
this week. John Travolta’s character drove the cherry red car in the movie.

Sheriff’s Sgt. Albert Anolin said an investigation into an old Malibu in the desert
city of Victorville on April 18 led detectives to another Malibu in the Oakland area. It
was then confirmed that vehicle belonged to Tarantino and was reported stolen in
1994.

Authorities say the car’s current owner is not believed to be involved in its theft
and is considered to be a victim of a fraud.

A message seeking Tarantino’s comment was not immediately returned.

SCHAUMBERG, Ill. (AP) – A rare century-old U.S. nickel that was once mistakenly declared a fake has sold at auction for more than $3.1 million.

The 1913 Liberty Head nickel is one of only five known to exist. But it’s the coin’s
back story that adds to its cachet: It was surreptitiously and illegally cast, discovered
in a car wreck that killed its owner, declared a fake, forgotten in a closet for
decades then declared the real deal.

It was offered for sale by four Virginia siblings at a rare coin and currency auction in
the Chicago suburb of Schaumburg on Thursday, and sold for well over the expected 
$2.5 million.

The winning bidders were two men from Lexington, Ky., and Panama City, Fla., who 
bought the coin in partnership.
