OJ Simpson’s infamous white Bronco used during car chase ‘hits the market as owners look to fetch $1.5m.’ a few days after his death

In the wake of OJ Simpson’s death, the infamous white Bronco he used – perhaps the most infamous car in American history – may finally be up for sale 30 years after he led LA cops on an unforgettable chase.

Simpson, whose death was announced Thursday just two months after a cancer diagnosis, was wanted by the LAPD for the murders of his ex-wife Nicole Brown and her friend Ron Goldman.

On June 17, 1994, just days after the fatal stabbings, OJ led police on a 90-minute chase in the back of his former teammate Al Cowlings’ white 1993 Ford Bronco as crowds lined the highway.

He was seen sitting in the back seat of Cowlings’ car and holding a gun to his head before surrendering and being arrested at his home in Brentwood.

Now Simpson’s former agent, Michael Gilbert, could be one of three people set to cash in on renewed interest in all things ‘Juice’ by selling the car after three decades.

Gilbert bought the car from Cowlings, along with two friends of the Simpson accomplice – whom Gilbert referred to as Michael Pulwer and a man referred to only as ‘Stan’ in an interview a few years ago – around the time of the trial.

The vehicle has been on loan to the Alcatraz East Crime Museum in Pigeon Forge, Tennessee since 2016, where it sits alongside cars once owned by John Dillinger and Ted Bundy.

Gilbert said he’s been thinking about making a quick buck even before Simpson’s death.

“Before OJ passed, we always thought this would be the year to sell because it’s the 30th anniversary,” Gilbert shared Cllct. ‘Who knows if we’re all going to be the 35th or the 40th?’

He and the other two owners say they want at least $1.5 million through a private or public sale.

Gilbert claims the last official offer they received for the car was around $750,000 before Simpson died.

For nearly two decades after the chase, the car remained parked in a garage in Los Angeles.

The Bronco later resurfaced, appearing on The Strip in Las Vegas, and again six months later at a Connecticut show.

It then went to Gilbert’s house before he was asked to get rid of it.

From there it went to Gilbert’s house. “My wife didn’t like that,” Gilbert said. “She wanted her parking spot back.”

The whereabouts of the car, which was discontinued by Ford shortly after before being brought back, remained a mystery for years until Gilbert finally came forward just a few years ago.

Although Simpson owned the exact same make and model of vehicle, his car had been seized as evidence after it was located outside his home the night of the murders with traces of blood from both victims inside, according to Alcatraz East crime museum.

The vehicle driven during the police chase actually belonged to Cowlings, who had bought his Bronco to match OJ – and claimed the football star had forced him to drive the vehicle during the chase by threatening him at gunpoint.

After the chase, but before the trial, the founder of a company called Startifacts, Michael Kronick, offered to buy the car for $75,000.

Cowlings initially agreed to the deal until he discovered Kronick’s intentions.

“We found out that the company wanted to rent the vehicle to a company in LA called Grave Line Tours, which visited famous graves,” Gilbert told ESPN.

‘They were going to resume the chase with the Bronco and then take people to Nicole’s grave. The trial hadn’t happened yet and we didn’t want people to think that someone associated with OJ did this.’

This led to Cowlings selling the car to his two friends and Gilbert, who are still the owners to this day.

A relic of pop culture and crime history, Simpson’s Bronco was custom built, had a 5.0-liter V8 engine that could generate about 185 horsepower, and only has about 32,000 miles on the clock.

Simpson died on Thursday aged 76 after a short battle with prostate cancer.

The notorious double-murder suspect, who was later found civilly responsible for the deaths of his ex-wife Nicole Brown and her friend Ron Goldman, died Wednesday night surrounded by his family at his home in Las Vegas.

Simpson became one of the most notorious figures in America after he was accused of the murders in 1994, of which he was controversially acquitted in what was then known as the ‘Trial of the Century’.

Simpson, a college football Heisman Trophy winner and former NFL running back who played 11 seasons mostly with the Buffalo Bills, reinvented himself as an actor before Brown and Goldman’s murders.

Although he was cleared of the murders, his reputation was forever tarnished, and the latter part of his career was marked by a series of shady dealings.

After being acquitted, Simpson was found civilly liable for the murders and was later forced to pay $33.5 million in restitution to the victims’ families.

He faced further legal trouble when he was sentenced to up to 33 years behind bars for armed robbery in Nevada in 2008.

His death comes two months after it was reported he was battling prostate cancer and undergoing chemotherapy and just two months short of the 30th anniversary of the chase.
