Sustained speeds over 100 mph with constant hard braking does tend to
boil away brake fluid. You will either have to slow to 80 mph or stop
braking at the last possible second.

If the car has not been driven, remove the rear wheels and check for
fluid inside the drums. Also look close around the calipers.
You may also have a rust hole in a brake line somewhere. Inside the
trans tunnel, across the front frame rail.
If the level goes down when pumping, it's in the lines or cylinders.
If it goes down overnight without pumping, it's in the master or one of
the lines.
