My T roadster has an inline Warford trans that has 2 overdrives. Mine will run 65 easy with a slightly warmed stock motor and the stock (albeit fenderless) body. I don't see any problem with 75mph.

What's Interesting to me is that he installed a Chevy trans inline after the Ford unit giving him 7 forward gears and 5 reverse.Claimed speed was 70MPH[Model T 45MPH] and 38MPG[25MPG] Engine was bonestock Henry.

Don't let Freud see this!   :-D

Anyone got a T laying around we can hack to try this? 

I would think you could plug some reasonable assumptions in a aero/HP calculator to find out if it's close or way off.  What's the cdA of a model T?
