This group has always been pretty amazing at identifying mystery parts. I have this spring-loaded gizmo that looks like it may be a spring for a hatch back lift. Pre gas spring because it is mechanical. I am not finding any Vette springs that look like this, but I may be overlooking something. It was with a lot of parts

that were nearly all C3 parts. Anyone care to venture an opinion on what this might be?

Can we get a better look at the right end? Are there any numbers stamped anywhere on it?

This one has me flummoxed. It came in a box of mostly Corvette parts I bought a few years ago. I have been trying to sort through and sell or toss as appropriate but for some reason I just can't bring myself to toss this one yet. But I am getting close.
