I don't know if I would go with used on this cable. When it breaks it can leave you with a stuck hood. New cables are only about 29.00. https://willcoxcorvette.com/corvette...to-latch-78-82.

I was thinking about using a hand brake cable from a mountain bike. That would set me back 5.00 vs 29.00 + shipping. I have enough other things on this car to spend the money on.
