It fell off a 72 Plymouth Scamp, local mopar dealer parts department and advance auto parts folks had no idea ,do you know what this part is ?

vent window lower slide rod??-- your door must have some rot in the bottom of it.

Looks kinda like a headlight adjustment screw.

At first I thought that maybe it was a sway bar link to the lower control arm? But then I saw the third pic showing the slotted adjuster inside of the nut and something occurred to me ...

Are we sure that thing is original to the Scamp? Cause to me it looks a lot like a motorcycle front fork tube spring preload adjuster as shown in the pic below. Maybe it was road debris and lodge itself somewhere under the Scamp for a while before it fell out?

but then again maybe not as that thing is corroded steel and most motorcyle preload adjusters are made of aluminum.

Yes it is a vent window frame adjuster bolt. The whole bottom of the door must be rusted out.

Obviously it is something your car no longer needs or wants.
