The classic Chevrolet convertible featured in the film Pulp Fiction has been found nearly two decades after it was stolen.

Californian newspaper, The San Bernardino County Sun, reported that movie director Quentin Tarantino's 1964 Chevelle Malibu was recovered in the San Francisco Bay area.

The vehicle had been stolen in 1994 during production of the movie.

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