Anybody know what this is?

Car is a 68 Charger. I removed the instrument cluster and surrounding trim to gain access to windshield wiper mechanism. I found this on drivers side floor this morning. it was partially wrapped in electrical tape. The tape is old and pretty much just fell off. When I removed the instrument cluster the power wire to clock was broken. I didn't see any other broken wires or missing parts. Any ideas

Oh yeah…that’s the + wire spade connector at the back of the clock/tach. You might be able to solder it back on, then put a glob of JB Weld around it for strength

Impressive.

Thanks. Not much wire left to work with from the clock.

68-69 clocks used to be cheap. I found a NOS one at a dealer in the late 90's and it worked in the car for 12 years. Then I went to a tic-tock-tach. If the relay in the clock is good, the mechanicals can be fixed by a watchmaker. If you're into that sort of thing, else just convert to quartz. I've seen a few ads of folks confused between a clock and a tic-tach, or they're shysters trying to confuse a buyer.
