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.

LONDON (AP) — A cache of apparently forgotten material dubbed "the
lost archive" of the Beach Boys, one of America’s greatest and most
commercially successful bands, is being put up for auction.

The collection of thousands of documents included what seems to be
the band’s first royalty check, for $990, dozens of signed contracts,
and handwritten and copied scores to "Good Vibrations", "California
Girls" and many other hits from their heyday in the 1960s.

A group of investors is seeking to sell the entire collection as one unit
with the expectation that it will bring several million dollars.

"We thought it would be a crime to break it up," says Ted Owen, who
heads the Fame Bureau, the London-based firm handling the sealed-
bid auction which ends on May 15.
