What is a Canaska/JVR Camaro?
I've never heard of this before. I'm just going to use the ebay photo hosted pics for this topic, but if anybody finds this topic even years from now and has some info... respond and I'll email you the pics.

This is really weird. I don't know what to think. The car is old enough that it could have changed hands many times, and it could have had the ground effects and wheels added on by one of the owners. What in the world is a Canaska-JVR? I looked it up on google and only got very old results for some racer who happened to drive a Camaro.
Does anyone have info?
The wheels are what my dad's Corvette used to have on it. He stupidly did a burnout and ruined the wheels and switched to Torque Thrust wheels. They were Speedline brand wheels designed to look like Ferrari wheels to my knowledge.
The ground effects are tasteful, yet aren't something I particularly follow. What ground effects are these?
The interior isn't factory either. Look at the seats.
The engine looks untouched. Nothing is popping out at me.

Anybody know anything about the history of this car? I emailed the seller, but haven't heard back yet. I asked if they had any documentation about it. This is very confusing.

I got a nearly useless email back from the seller.
Didn't tell me what was part of the package. 
I only care because info will have to end up on my site someday if I want it to be really comprehensive.

It took me a minute to see it. But it is definitely different than my 95, but exactly like my 94 was. I just now realized that pattern and my old 94's pattern is different than my current car and all other LT1 cars I have seen. Maybe a 94 only pattern? 94 was the first year of leather in the 4th gens. I believe there were only 400 or so beige leather interiors if my memory serves correct. That was out of 1200 or so leather interiors, the other color being graphite.
