I don't know how much it would cost, but if you take your old one out there are places that can make you a new speedometer cable. They'll reuse the ends off yours.

Check the Help! section of your local auto parts store - they sell a universal cable that will work.

I did it on my 1972 250C because the dealer said he could not get me a cable. The part you buy is just the inner cable - it has one "end" already attached. You cut the other end to the correct length and attach the extra end to it using the supplied die to crunch it with a hammer. It sounds crude but it works well, just make sure you get a clean cut.
