...but I don't. It looks very familiar and I've even cleaned and repainted it. It's probably for sale cheap if I can figure it out.

I think it's one of the brackets that hold the grill section next to the movable wiper door

You're right, it is the driver's side support. The passenger side contains that support built into the vacuum linkage. I found it on p.88 in the AIM. It has the letter H stamped into it. The below fastener secures it to the firewall.

Since I am going to try to sell that whole movable door business and my hood, I will keep it with the rest of that stuff.

thanks Barry

I have 243 images of my vette on my phone and it not just because I like the car but the photos can come really handy trying figure out where things go. Just a thought.

Me too. About the same number of pages in the AIM probably. Since I have lots of family photos too, I've lately been sorting my car pictures into named folders to prevent endless doom scrolling.
