‘74, 2.0
When we got her I inspected the entire car, replaced/rebuilt just about everything that was critical, my son loves the car, drives it all of the time and was on his way to his favorite fishing hole (ah to be 18 again) when he calls and says: the clutch cable broke!  Looks like it broke in the middle! |

Check condition of body to transmission ground strap.
Needs to be a zero ohm connection When this ground strap is missing or high resistance, the clutch and throttle cables become the ground when starting. This crates a lot of heat in the cables and leads to the type of failure you have - sudden failure without warning. |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) probably not high tensile after being heat cycled. |

I’ve been a victim of this. Mine started with the clutch cable stretching then snap.
