Description:
AN OLD Ford Falcon XA Superbird has been given a new life after one man restored the car to surprise his father. Tommy Giankos’ father, Paul, bought the XA Superbird in 1973 - it was his very first car. However after an accident wrote the car off, it sat idle on their family farm. It wasn’t until 2013 when Tommy decided to rebuild it to the surprise of his father. Industry experts estimate that the car has increased significantly in value after its $100,000 revamp, but the family has no plans to let go of it just yet. Tommy said: “It took five and a half years, but it's pretty much a dream come true to think that I can drive this car now, when growing up I thought I’d never drive it again after what happened.”

And now, for the price of €6 million or about $6.35 million, you could be its new overlord.<br/><br/>The Cavalcanti Castle was constructed around 1427. In the intervening centuries, the castle has undergone numerous expansions and restorations while retaining its architecture and distinctive features. Parapets line the roof of the solid stone structure—once a watchtower—which sits atop a hill covered in mature trees. More recent improvements include carefully planned night lighting and a resort-like swimming pool in the inner garden.<br/><br/>With more than 26,000 square feet of interior space, spanning three floors and a basement, Cavalcanti Castle includes lavish architectural details such as decorative groin-vaulted ceilings, archways and frescoed halls.
