Default 1965 Hood Stuck

My Hood latch cable has broken on the right side. When I pull the hood release handle the left side will open, but not the right. Is there a way to manually open the right side.

Hi 1965 corvette owner, welcometo the forum. On myC-3 there is a cable that runs from the left to the right side, Not sure if the C-2 is the same but if you can lift one side enough to pull that cable towards the back of the car that might do it. Hope that helps, PG.

If that did not work, I think you may be able to get at the latch from underneath. I posted a response with a picto you over in the C1 & C2 section at
