Fastest Jet at Low Level?

So what was the fastest aircraft (IAS) flat out at low level ie. 500 feet agl or so?
Some numbers I've been given over the years by type qualified pilots-Phanthom 750 kts,F3 860kts, Buccaneer 560kts .
Any others especially the more modern types?I've heard the F105 (OK- hardly modern)could do 1000 kts.That can't be right, can it?
Anyone actually achieved these speeds?
Thanks.
