One of my favorite sites in the past few months has been Bring-A-Trailer. The site features cars for sale around the United States and even the world. Readers will write in and suggest cars that are posted for sale on sites like ebay, craigslist, and other auction sites. Other cars are offered as exclusives to the Bring-A-Trailer site. They are not for sale anywhere else at the moment.
This week the site put up a 1968 Mercury Cougar XR7 for sale. Check it out for yourself. This is a car has plenty of originality, but also includes engine and suspension upgrades to make the driving experience much better. With a reasonable price of $13,500 this car seems like a pretty good buy.
You can check my links to the right of the page for places to find more Mercury Cougars for sale on the internet.
