Default Throttle cable

I need a new throttle cable, found NOS on Ebay for around $110-120
Year one have a reproduction one for $49, are these any good, what else is available?

The after market ones look & work just as designed.

save your packing and receipt, I bought a new cable for my 69 GTO and hated that cable.
It would stick, [not blaming the vender,they didn't make it].
I found a very nice used cable on e-bay and all is well again.
You may have better luck them me.

My advice to you would be to buy the NOS cable. A sticking throttle cable can get you killed.

Do yourself a favor and stop shopping at year one, they sell the same stuff as Ames but charge you more.

Only if you don't know how to turn off the ignition and use your brakes!

a warm engine already at high RPM won't necessarily stop running without ignition, like a diesel it can run under certain conditions with fuel auto-igniting. And brakes won't necessarily be able to fight against a racing big engine. You can put it in neutral to stop the car but then kiss the engine goodbye!

Learned this the hard way in a 69 GP 25 years ago when the cruise control chain got stuck on I-90 on my way to the POCI nationals.
