Franco's Mustang makes even Vanilla Ice a little jealous. Super white bright paint, white drop top and some super clean aftermarket rims along with a few extra's. When you see Franco's Mustang, one can understand and maybe even want to ask, is it for sale? NO! At least not yet anyways.
Franco bought his Mustang in April of 2011. He had just sold his 1968 Pontiac Tempest and was having his second child and wanted a car his whole family can enjoy. When a deal fell through on a Cadillac Coupe Deville Franco went on a whim to look at the Mustang he now owns. Franco who even claims to have hated Mustangs his entire life, liked what he saw in this Mustang. Still unsure about it, he test drove it and that was all it took. He bought the car the same day. To quote Franco's wife, "The garage didn't even have time to get cold!"
Franco's whole plan was to drive the Mustang just for the summer and flip it. Franco's plan died after owning the Mustang became an obession for him. And with being able to fit the wife and two car seats in the back, why not keep it?
The Mustang is a fuel injected 302 bone stock (as far as he knows). It had chrome ponies on it and was already lowered with KYB Shocks and lowering springs on all 4 corners. T-5 5 Speed Transmission, Full stainless Flowmaster Exhaust and factory interior. So Franco gave it a new paint job, new rims, BBK Cold Air Induction, new head unit and an upgraded 140AMP Alternator.
Franco's future plans are really to just enjoy the car with his family as much as possible. He plans to keep it as close to stock as possible, but who knows. Maybe not?
If you don't see Franco walking around with an Empire Muscle Car t-shirt on with a cigar in his mouth, you'll usually be able to see him driving around with his wife and kids in the car with the top down. Franco is a valued member at EMC and doesn't miss much of anything when it comes to the car scene. Super nice guy who will do anything for his fellow EMC Members.
