In the early 50s Cunningham competed at Le Mans with a hopped up 331 hemi, ford based chassis and sports car body. They made better than 160mph down the Mulsanne straight which was 2 3/4 miles long.

Your Ford coupe was not as streamlined but other wise comparable in power size and weight. So 120 or better should have been a cinch.
