We are moving and third baby forces sale of my beloved project car.  I am a professional automotive painter, and this was my personal project until my son came along and we had to buy a minivan.  Needless to say, for a multitude of reasons, I must sell the Falcon that I've put countless hours into.  Okay, now on to details of the car.


I purchased this original California car back home in Modesto California about 8 years ago, brought it up to Idaho with me when I moved, and finally decided to tear into it.  It wore it's original white paint, and had red interior.  The only rust on the car was below the rear glass window, which I cut out and welded in new metal.  That was it!  The floor, quarters and doors are immaculate for a car of its age, and no major damage anywhere!  

1966 Ford Falcon NOT RUNNING YET
Rebuilt 302, ZERO Miles on motor since rebuild. Mexican block(stronger with beefier main caps and ARP STUDS) Heads are reworked 351 Windsor heads for the larger valves(Stainless), Comp-Cams roller rockers, Edelbrock intake and carb, mild performance hydraulic cam with a decent idle. Aluminum valve covers.
Ford Toploader 4 speed transmission.  Original factory shifter, tunnel hump, clutch pedal and linkage.
9 inch rear axle.  The differential has a 3:1 ratio, Non-posi (open).
Wheels are stock 14 inch steel with old used tires, the rims in the photos were borrowed for the car show which I won 3rd in the "In progress" class.  (The motor wasn't in at the time, and the other two cars that got 1st and 2nd were running already)
NEW disc brakes, stock 4 piston caliper, not the later Granada brakes.
NEW front suspension COMPLETE, including a 1 Inch sway bar.
Reconditioned steering box.
Tie rods are the old ones, haven't gotten around to replacing them yet, and needed to get the wheels connected to the steering wheel before the car show.  I have a pair of either the inner or outer can't remember which, that are new and included.

All bodywork and paint was done by me in a professional bodyshop where I work.  The car was completely stripped down to the bare steel and primed with an epoxy primer.  The paint is BASF's UNO, which is a very high quality single stage (About $800 for the gallon of Red paint, not counting the primers, and the hardeners and reducers for all of it). The dash, and all interior metal parts are painted black base coat/clear coat with BASF's R-M paint. (Same paint Chip Foose uses, not to say I'm any bit as good as he is, just so you know it's good quality paint in case you haven't heard of it before).  There is no body-mods, all emblem holes are still present.  The only change I had made is cut the hole in the dash larger for an aftermarket stereo(Standard size), and filled in the hole on the top of the dash that was for the single speaker and the slotted holes used for mounting a dash pad.  The defroster openings are still there to be functional.  I smoothed out the top of the dash and is painted with a flattened clear coat.  I used a flattened clear so there won't be so much glare from the sun as it hits the dash through the window.  The lower section of the dash is still gloss black like the rest of the interior.   All of the parts were painted separately off of the car as you can see in photos.

Paint code is Ford: E4  "Vermilion Red"  Does NOT look orange in the sun.

I have a lot of photos showing progress of the car, more than I care to post on this eBay ad.  I can eMail additional photos to anyone serious about purchasing this car.

This car is obviously not completely assembled.  However I have all the original usable parts to complete it.  Most still need some reconditioning (ie. Bumpers and seats), but all of the hard work is done to the car.  I have a lot of spare parts that go with the car.  So if you have the car shipped on a car hauler third party, you will still need to come by or arrange for someone to pick up all of the parts that go with it.  I do not have the time to pack all the little and large parts separately.  Everything should fit in a small uhaul trailer or a pickup bed.

Here are just a few thing that still need to be done:
Upholstery, including headliner, carpet, door panels and seats. I have the original door panels, misc trim parts and rear seat.  The front seats are high back seats out of a late 70's era Camaro. I do not have the original seats, they were MIA when I purchased the car.
Weatherstripping (I have a new set of belt-line moldings, which is the set that goes in the door on either side of the glass)
Glass all needs to be installed.  (There is no windshield, I will have my glass guy come by and install one once auction successfully ends and I receive a deposit.) All other glass is original and in good condition.
Exhaust system
Wiring and gauges(I have all the original wiring and a couple sets of original gauges)
Everything under the dash needs installed. (ie. wiring, heater, defroster, glove box innards etc..)
Bumpers re-chromed
Grille and headlight buckets
Fuel line and brake lines ran to the rear of car and gas tank installed.
Drive-shaft cut to fit and installed
Pretty wheels and tires (your personal preference,I won't make you pay for wheels that I like and that you might not, everyone has their own personal tastes there, so it comes with ugly stock ones to roll around on)
Tie rods changed out (I have one new pair, as mentioned above)
Clutch linkage connected
Misc odds and ends like door handles, gas filler neck, emblems etc....

The door latches are installed and work from the inside or from a rod through the hole on the outside where the handle goes.  All panels and gaps are adjusted and open and close with ease as they should.

Any questions feel free to send an eMail, if you wish to speak directly please include your phone number and a time to reach you.  Thank you for looking.

Bodie Stroud seriously updates the 1956 Ford F-100 into the BSI X-100

Tue, Mar 24 2015

If you thought pickups could use a lot more love in the resto-mod world, then Bodie Stroud – he of "The Real Thing" Mustang – has something for you: the BSI X-100. His team starts with the body of a 1956 Ford F-100, but the sheetmetal is about all the nostalgia you're going to get; the body, tweaked with a chopped hood and a larger rear window on the cab, sits on a custom steel ladder-frame chassis. Out back is a one-piece, tubbed bed, and behind that are taillights from a 1948 (gasp!) Chevrolet. Under that hood is either a 412-horsepower, 5.0-liter Ford Racing Coyote crate engine, or a supercharged, 6.0-liter, 630-hp Ford Racing Aluminator motor, shifting through a Ford 4R70W four-speed automatic. Inside, the dash is reworked to fit gauges from a Ford F-150 King Ranch Edition, and the bench is swapped out for buckets from a Mustang GT. The independent front and four-link rear suspension are adjustable, helping to make room for staggered wheels - 19 inches in front, 20 inches in back, and larger can be accommodated. Six-piston Wilwood brakes handle the stopping. There's a lot of fabrication and hand-work involved, and it doesn't come cheap: BSI says the turnkey package starts at $180,000. If you've got it, this is an exceptional way to flaunt it. The press release below has all the details. THE BSI 1956 X-100: TIMELESS LINES, MODERN TECH New pickup from Bodie Stroud Industries melds the iconic style of the 1956 F-100 with a cutting-edge chassis and drivetrain to create a hand-built, all-new truck with the performance and reliability of a modern sports car. Sun Valley, Calif. (March, 2015) – In an era when anyone can walk into a dealership with good credit and a yearning to go fast and drive out in a 500+ horsepower sports car, owning and driving something truly unique has become a challenge. With that in mind, the craftsmen at Los Angeles-based Bodie Stroud Industries (BSI) have come up with something truly special – a brand new line of hand-built, turn-key pickups with the looks and sheet metal of an American icon, subtly massaged and fitted to a modern chassis and powered by the latest engine, transmission and electronics from Detroit. The result is the world's first all-new, turn-key 1956 Pickup: the BSI X-100. "When most people think about classic trucks, what comes to mind is usually the 1956 F-100, it's one of the most timeless designs of all time," says BSI founder Bodie Stroud.
