Make one. Buy cable and put the right ends on it.

Perhaps it is particular to your car… if I was asked to duplicate it, I'd make sure that the length guage was equivalent, the fittings on the ends the same; by the time I might price it, you might be better buying one in good/new condition. While my specialty is in the marine field, the concept is the same. You might have additional heat/abrasion shielding as well.

The only differences are the length and the type of connectors it uses on each end. Go to any reasonable auto parts store and by a generic one that has the same connectors and is at least as long as the original. Just about any place will have parts like that for much less than the dealer.

I expect this cable can be purchased for about $10 at almost any discount parts store which sells ACDelco parts.
