It looks like a cocoon of some kind for a moth or butterfly

It is a moth cocoon. I hatched these before. I don't know what species though.
Any idea if it's viable for me to hatch?

It looks like it is ok. Just leave it in an enclosed container with some leaf littler. TC might have worked with this before, so be sure to ask him.

How the frick you know this stuff, TC?!

It could be almost any Sphingidae on that matter because it's so elongated. Of course Acheson is a possibility but there are tens or even hundreds of sphinx moth species here

Looks kind of like a achemon sphinx moth, cocoon. Seems like it would be right considering the location. Where did you find it?
In my garage behind some boxes. Just stumbled upon it while doing some spring cleaning.
I agree it is a sphingid pupa of some sort, size alone pretty much assures that.
Well location wouldn't narrow it down that much. There's tons of sphinx moth species, and many have very broad ranges.
