This over the counter fan shroud was widely used back in the day as the GTO’s tend to run hot. They are a durable thick textured plastic with the part number.
The Original owner of my ‘66 GTO added this shroud shortly after he bought the car.
There is one on eBay now for $$$.
Below is the one on my ‘66 along with the MPC information.
