That is a tough one to find.  If you have the connectors and they are still in good shape, it is easy to re-make it with new wire--especially one like that with only two wires involved.  If you have the original and the connectors are useable, I can help you with remaking it if you aren't set up to do that yourself.

Ted found it. :occasion14:
M&H makes it
10525    BATTERY CABLE JUMPER,    POS, V/8, GRAN SPORT, JUNCTION BLOCK TO STARTER SOLENOID    $39.00

I was going to suggest contacting Doug at www.buickfarm.com   He may have some used ones.

The originals are fine-strand cable with fabric covering, a yellow and a purple wire for the relay, and all enclosed in an asphalt-impregnated fabric loom. You can get the loom from a couple of places, including performanceyears.com. and oldbuickparts.com
The cable? Maybe an antique-auto supplier.

It's a tight fit down there behind the exhaust manifold! That 90 degree end is important.
Here's a pic of an original. Note the holder that goes on the brake master cylinder mounting nut.
