    need to diagnose this and make sure that it is either the speed senor or the Speedo.

    any Check Engine Light on?

    This is pretty common on the 2005 Mustangs, it's caused by failing stepper motors in the instrument cluster, they control the movement of the gauges. There's a guide on how to fix them here - www.2005-mustang-speedometer-problem.com
