Most kids say they want to do tricks. When they would come in and say that I would ask if they want to do tail whips and decades or do they want to go vert?
That usually makes them really confused because they have never heard of those and have no idea how to do tricks on a bike. Sooo, I would then ask them if they plan on just riding with their friends and racing around the block and jumping curbs? I say skip the pegs, make your friends who dont have bikes hound their parents to get bikes then all your friends have bikes.

9/10 kid just wants pegs to give his friends rides. Its not fun. At 11, your average cheap bike weighs too much for them to do much more than a meager bunny hop or jump.

For context, I am an ex BMX racer and ran a couple of bicycle shops. My kids at that age had junior and expert (those are sizes. The most common are Mini, Junior, expert, standard, XL and XXL) racing bikes. They are lighter and more nimble than the average bike and kids can have a lot more fun on them.

Freestyle land, street and vert was all an evolution from BMX racers that were bored between motos and looking to do stuff on their bikes. Simple tricks like bunny hops evolved into 180 bunny hop to endo, to cherry pickers and once the gyro and oryg were invented and brake cables were no longer an issue, spinning your bars and doing decades and neverending tailwhips became the norm.

Not sure how GTs current quality is. I got my cousin a GT Mach One Mini when he was 6 for $350 in 1990's money. His mother still has that bike. Its been over 30 years. My kids used it some 15 years ago. Get the right bike and treat it well and it will last.
Lol, anyone want to go halfsies?
You will have to look at a BMX size chart to see what the recommended top tube size is for your grandson's height.

Here are a couple links for size charts.

I have the 2000's chrome 20" GT Interceptor bike frame that can be restored/salvaged. Do you think youngsters or children these days would be interested in acquiring it? It no ancient history but retro indeed. Thoughts?

They don't really have a way to brake it down by frame/top tube size. Any suggestions for almost 6'5" adult for this sale or skip it?

For BMX racing, at your size you want a minimum XXL and maybe even an XXXL. I am 5'10" and ran an XL to keep my knees from slamming into the handle bars.

The issue comes into having to go all retro for the rebuild. We dont use a lot of chromoly anymore as much as we are into Aluminum and other exotics. Ebay the frame and be happy if anyone bids. The for the BB you might be able to find a decent set of cranks but he interceptor was just a standard sized frame. Think 14-16 yr olds. The headset was noramally 1" threaded and connected to the forks in this manner. Current forks are oversized and not threaded. The headset is tensioned by the stem on the forks holding the handlebars.

danscomp dot com will show you a lot of parts and prices so you get an idea of what a rebuild would cost.

if I am not mistaken the standard Interceptor came with 1 piece cranks and platform pedals.
