Although it has the aerodynamics of a brick, I think I see a modern chassis and running gear in their photos so highway speeds are probably already possible (with or without 20" wheels)...

To each his own as they say.
The topic of making ex MVs more driveavle is always an interesting subject.
Suppose it depends on your end game, whether or not your are a purist history buff or a guy that wants to drive something cool.
As many of you know, I tend to favour the historical and correctly done restorations.
If I were, to ever, even think about modernizations I think the concept of improving an original would need to be done with mil-spec parts and pieces. At least it would have the appearances of being factory.

It is listed as having a Ford F150 underneath it for chassis and running gear.

Paul, can I suggest you save a picture and post it in the thread. Otherwise the whole thread becomes irrelevant when the listing disappears.

Good idea. We are lucky it has not sold already, as the ad would be taken down and future collectors would not know what is possible.

You forgot to add these photos - if this doesn't pull in the younger crowd, I don't know what will
