The infamous white Bronco is arguably the most iconic item involved in the O.J. Simpson murder trial. Now, the vehicle is popping up in an unlikely place: Pawn Stars.
Simpson’s ex-agent, Mike Gilbert, took the Bronco that was involved in the police chase broadcast across the country to the sellers behind the History Channel show in hopes of a big payday. He said he had previously been offered $500,000 for the vehicle, but turned it down.

The Bronco was owned by Al Cowlings, who drove the vehicle as Simpson was in the backseat with a gun to his head. Police pursued him for almost two hours with 95 million people watching at home.
“At the time of the O.J. chase, I was O.J.’s agent,” Gilbert says in the preview of the show. “People were going to sell the Bronco to a company who were gonna take it down the freeway and by the murder site. I thought that’d be classless, especially since the trial hadn’t started yet. So, I bought it from A.C. and kept it hidden for pretty much the last 22 years.”
We don’t see if Pawn Stars‘ Rick Harrison will make a successful offer, but he has commented on buying Simpson merchandise before.
In a July interview with TMZ, Harrison cautioned against buying anything tied to Simpson because of the murder trial.
“Some of the stuff’s worth a lot of money, but it’s never gonna be Babe Ruth stuff,” he said. “It’s never gonna [have] the great value of the other stuff because he killed people.”
The History Channel’s Pawn Stars airs Mondays at 9 p.m. CT.
