Yes, I agree the speed sensor can have a problem in the circuit. I have also had problems with the instrument cluster on these older Thunderbirds. If you want to know how to test it all, just let me know.
The one part that can affect both your cruise control and your speedometer is the vehicle speed sensor. The MOST LIKELY cause is failure of the speed sensor itself (very common). However, I would not run out and spend money on a speed sensor before verifying that the electrical circuits leading to and from the speed sensor are working correctly. The problem might be cause by a broken wire or a loose connector (also relatively common).
The sensor is located at the left-hand side of the rear of the transmission housing.
