That part would be the ignition lock cylinder housing. You can buy a junkyard column and POSSIBLY remove the housing and replace it. We did a Concorde that had no number on the housing, but the boneyard piece could be removed.

I don't know if you can buy the housing from the yard, depends on who you call, they may only sell you a complete column.
