Looks a lot like a washer fluid bag. But C3s only used plastic jars, yes? So that would be non-oem if that’s what it is.

Plastic jars were use in non-AC cars, Air Conditioned Vettes used a washer bag. All the space on the passenger is full of AC stuff.

That's a 69-72 windshield washer bag for a car with factory air conditioning. AC equipped 68's used a one year only squarer shaped bag. Starting in 73 the AC bags were eliminated and the same plastic bottles were then used in both AC and non air cars.

Thanks all of you "Vette Detectives"! What an odd retro way to hold windshield washer fluid.

I thought the bag was a whiskey flask or a colostomy bag for the driver.
