Can you identify this panel?

I got this in a box of parts with a Dart I recently picked up. Is it a dash filler? Like if you don't want to use the factory speedometer? Or is it a body patch panel?
The part is aluminum. It is marked "Dart" and what looks like "AMD"
Also, if you know what it IS,,what does it cost new retail?
Thanks in advance!

That doesn't say Dart, it says bare. What you have there is nothing other than a piece of 7075 (alloy) aviation grade aluminum that is "bare", not "alclad". Alclad would mean that it has a coating of pure aluminum over the base alloy to give it better corrosion resistance qualities.
 
Example, the pic shows 2024 T3 .040 thick alclad aluminum. As for the value....not much.

Oh well..I wanted to make certain I wasn't throwing an expensive part on the scrap aluminum pile!
It looked like it was bent to replace the gauge panel or the glove box door :)
Thanks!
