UFO VW

Extraordinary showcar this must be! Looks like a trimmed down VW powerplant with a chromed semistock exhaust and extremely narrowed rear axles... Not to mention the rad bodywork. Anybody got an idea what this is? Better pics maybe?

* Thanks to a nice blogreader Its "THE WISHBONE" by Ed Roth!
and some more pics plucked from interspace
and some more background information like Chris K. already pointed out here:

    Roth hated the way it turned out so cut it up. I think it was Jim Jacobs who put it back together which pissed Roth off.

    Thanks for clarifiing this, and interesting fact there Chris!
    The rear wheel set up baffles me a bit, cause the wheels are so close to the engine. They must have shortened the axles quite a bit
