Thor - an unidentified sleeping beauty

Thanks to Matt Burke, of Rochester, NY, who recently bought this

car called the THOR. He asks: "Has anyone heard of or seen any

others like this? The chassis is a full length VW beetle pan/trans

and motor from 1956. The only id is the tags you see in the

pictures - I am trying to find out more about this car. All of the

pieces and parts are on the car. there doesn't seem to be anything

missing. One neat feature is a hand-controlled direct fuel delivery

system control from inside the cabin (see engine pictures).

If you know of anybody that may be able to help I would appreciate

you getting in touch." mkburke@hotmail.com
