In the wake of O.J. Simpson's death, the infamous white Bronco he used - perhaps the most infamous car in American history - may finally be sold 30 years on from when 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 over the murder of his ex-wife Nicole Brown and her friend Ron Goldman.
On June 17, 1994, just days after the fatal stabbings, O.J. led the police on 90-minute pursuit in the back of his former teammate Al Cowlings' white 1993 Ford Bronco as crowds lined the freeway.
He was seen sitting in the backseat of Cowlings' car, holding a gun to his head before surrendering and being arrested at his home in Brentwood.
Now, Simpson's former agent, Michael Gilbert, may be one of three people set to cash in on renewed interest in all things 'Juice' by selling the car after three decades.

Gilbert purchased the car from Cowlings along with two friends of the Simpson accomplice - whom Gilbert referred to as Michael Pulwer and a man only referred to 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 that he's been thinking of cashing in soon even before Simpson's death.
'Before O.J. passed, we had always thought this was going to be the year we were going to sell because it's the 30th anniversary,' Gilbert told Cllct. 'Who knows if we are all going to be around for the 35th or the 40th?'
He and the other two owners say they want at least $1.5million through a private or public sale.
Gilbert claims the last official offer they received for the car was at 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 and appeared on The Strip in Las Vegas, and again six months later at a Connecticut exhibit.

Then, it 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 it there,' Gilbert said. 'She wanted her parking spot back.'
The whereabouts of the car, which was discontinued by Ford soon after before being brought back, remained a mystery for years until Gilbert finally spoke out only 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 on the night of the murders with traces of blood of both victims inside, according to Alcatraz East crime museum.
The vehicle driven during the police chase in fact belonged to Cowlings who had purchased his Bronco to match O.J - 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, 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 was going to rent the vehicle to a company in L.A. called Grave Line Tours, that visited famous graves,' Gilbert told ESPN.

'They were going to re-enact the chase with the Bronco and then take people to Nicole's grave. The trial hadn't taken place yet, and we didn't want people thinking anyone associated with O.J. did this.'
That led to Cowlings selling the car to his two friends and Gilbert, who remain owners to this day.
A relic of pop culture and crime history, Simpson's Bronco was custom made, had a 5.0-liter V8 engine that could generate around 185 horsepower and only has about 32,000 miles on the clock.
Simpson died Thursday aged 76 after a short battle with prostate cancer.
The notorious double murder suspect, who was later found civilly liable for the deaths of his ex-wife Nicole Brown and her friend Ron Goldman, passed away surrounded by his family at his home in Las Vegas on Wednesday night.
Simpson became one of the most infamous figures in America after he was charged with the 1994 murders, for which he was controversially acquitted in what was then known as 'The Trial of the Century.'
Simpson, a winner of college football's Heisman Trophy and a 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 cleared of the killings, his reputation was tarnished forever and the latter part of his career was marked by a series of seedy ventures.

After being acquitted, Simpson went on to be found civilly liable for the murders and was later forced to pay out $33.5million in damages to the victims' families.
He faced further legal troubles 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 that the he was battling prostate cancer and undergoing chemotherapy and just two months shy of the 30th anniversary of the chase.
