Take the cable loose from the speedometer head, pull out the center 
cable and inspect it. If is damaged, replace it. Light fraying, replace 
just the core. If major damage, replace the whole cable (inner core and 
outer housing).

If the center looks good, lubricate and reinstall. There is a special 
graphite lube that works very well. Google speedometer lube. Maybe mix 
Lock-Ease with more graphite in a pinch...???

A noisy speedometer with wild readings is common on a cold day. (Wow! 
100 mph in city driving!) Lube will correct that.

>On my 64 4 sp cp the speedo has developed an intermittent condition where it squeals really loud with alot of vibrations at the same time the needle jumps from 0-100 back and forth.  When it calms down it reads way higher than I am actually traveling.  I don't know if it makes a difference but before I got home the driveway was sealed so I had to park outside overnight and we had frost.
