Hi Wayne,
I had this happen on my '65 a long time ago. As I remember, you can pop
the latch by using a long screwdriver to push it sideways, or you can
loop a piece of wire around it and pull it. I had to do this for quite
awhile!
To fix the cable, you'll need to get hold of some stiff wire (like
piano wire). I had a machinist drill out the old cable from the handle
and secure the new one with a set screw.
Best,
JM
