I consider myself very blessed that almost 40 years ago I was in Cincinatti and wanted a Pre-CBS strat so bad.
You talk about luck! I found a naturally road worn 1963 Lake Placid Blue C series Stratocaster across the bridge in Florence, Kentucky.
The man in the store asked me if I wanted a new one, which I said I couldn't afford ($440 at that time!) so I said I wanted the "used one"!
He said, "Well ,it's pretty old. I've got to get $200 for it!"
The rest is history and that guitar has risen to the title of "Family Heirloom!

Yes! $200! It was in the 70's before everyone knew their real value. At that time you could buy a '59 Stratocaster for about $2000!
I will post pics in a little while!
