BLT-ZR1, what is it?!?!

Ok, so i was going through a junkyard in arlington today and i found a camaro there, in it was a set of Recaro racing seats that i snagged, i picked up for $15, i was looking around it and it had BLT-ZR1 badges on it, i was really confused as i'd never seen these before, and i didn't know Recaro seats came in camaro's i thought it was a firebird option.. i didn't get any RPO codes, but i did get the vin, i went to open camarosource to look at the vin, but it won't load for some reason?

The Vin is 1g1fp21f9jl1052 i believe.. can anyone shead some light on this for me, also is the engine worth getting? we were going to get it today but we got there too late.

and on a side note, does anyone know if they make upholstery kits for recaro seats? or do i have to have a local shop custom fab somthing?

No such thing as a BLT-ZR1. It was someones idea to have these badgges put on the car. The engine is probably just a typical engine. You know how kids are. The car is faster with badges that make you think it's faster.

I would have to see the seat to see if there is a kit for it, typically there is no prefab kits, you have to dissassmble the seat cloth patterns and duplicate them to be resewn
