Need help IDing Corvette? Part

Anyone know for sure what this is? It came in a box of 66 Corvette parts. Any help would be appreciated. May not even be to a Corvette.
Thanks.

 

Possibly part of a window lift mechanism...?

Looks more like something that woulds support a hood when opened. You can see the sliding catch. I can't tell you it came from your vette though.

Mid-year hood prop. DD

 

ok, I see what your saying. Does any one know about whay year? What do you mean mid yeear. Thanks

 

63-67 is the mid-years c2 body style

 

Not a mid year. Mid year locked when it was lifted and then had to be lifted again to unlock it allowing it to close. Dennis D

 

Midyear (63-67) Corvette hood supports are relatively simple looking with two main parts not counting the swivel bases on the ends. That one you've shown has a knee action part and sorta resembles the ones used from 77-82. http://www.zip-corvette.com/Product...od+Support&Referer=&Alias=&ptct=SGR-SR&C***le=&

Well, after ME saying something stupid (straight out of my *** without thinking), it's not a "mid-year" support (I still own a '65 and have owned most of the others in the past). Looks like Vet65te is right...77-82-ish. Dime a dozen! '77-'82 pictured below. DD

 

You guys on the HAMB are great. Thanks, I didn't have a clue.

 

DD - After looking at all these parts for a while, they all start to look alike. I used to have a 78 but still had to scan the vendors catalogs to make sure what year it might be. I see you have a 65 365 A/C Vette, rare car with what, just a bit over 200 made that year? Rare indeed.

Yup Mike, kinda rare...227 built. This one is pretty-well optioned, too. Sold new in Beaumont, Tx. I've owned it over 26 years. DD
