Will the 'Pawn Stars' buy the infamous O.J. Simpson Bronco?

Will the most infamous car in pop-culture history bring in a six-figure payday for its owner? History Channel viewers will find out on Monday’s episode of Pawn Stars, as collector and history buff Rick Harrison considers ponying up big bucks for the Ford Bronco O.J. Simpson used for his 1994 live TV police chase.

The Bronco didn’t belong to O.J. Simpson; the car was owned by Simpson’s BFF and football teammate — in high school, college, and the NFL — Al “A.C.” Cowlings, who was in the driver’s seat on June 17, 1994, as he and Simpson rode around the freeways of Los Angeles with the LAPD in pursuit. Simpson had been scheduled to turn himself in at a Los Angeles police station that day, where he would be charged with the murders of his ex-wife, Nicole Brown Simpson, and her friend, Ron Goldman.

Now, after 22 years in the possession of Simpson’s former agent, Mike Gilbert, the Bronco is up for sale, and Harrison may be in the mood to buy the SUV.

Gilbert, who bought the Bronco from Cowlings after the infamous chase, tells Harrison in the clip above that he hoped to prevent the car from being used as a prop in a tasteless tour of crime scenes related to Nicole Simpson and Ron Goldman’s murders. He was once offered $500,000 for the Bronco, he says, and now wants to sell it and pass the cash along to his children.

The potential sale continues the never-ending saga of Simpson’s fall from grace, as the Heisman winner, NFL Hall of Famer, actor, and former Hertz spokesman prepares to be paroled as early as October after spending nine years in a Nevada prison for a 2008 robbery conviction.

Gilbert was accused by Simpson of stealing some of the sports memorabilia Simpson sought when arrested for the robbery. Gilbert admitted he had taken many items from Simpson’s former Brentwood, Calif. home, but said it was to help the athlete protect his assets.

After Gilbert severed his relationship with Simpson, he wrote the 2008 book How I Helped O.J. Get Away With Murder: The Shocking Inside Story of Violence, Loyalty, Regret, and Remorse, in which Gilbert said Simpson essentially confessed to him that he was responsible for his ex-wife’s murder. “If she hadn’t opened that door with a knife in her hand, Mike, she’d still be alive,” Gilbert claimed Simpson told him. Gilbert also wrote of his own guilt about helping Simpson hide his assets, including valuable memorabilia, to prevent Ron Goldman’s family from claiming it after they won a $33.5 million civil suit against Simpson.
