Default HELP throttle accelerator cable snapped

The throttle cable on my 1985 Corvette (Manual Trans) snapped. Problem is, my mechanic & I cannot locate a part.

I need GM Part # 10181278

Anyone have this item & want to sell it?

I replaced mine with a lokar throttle cable.

'85 - '88 would be the same if you're looking for used.
