    Definitely going to need more detail (close, clear photos) of the Hertz sticker. Probably also going to need detailed history on the original owner or lessee. An Eminger Invoice and Marti Report might help.

    I'm pretty sure barcodes weren't widely used in 1985. Maybe the car belonged to an employee of Hertz and this is some kind of employee parking lot access sticker?

    Does it have the VIN etched in any of the windows or on the wheels?

    I'm still waiting on my Marti Deluxe Report on my 85 Hertz SVO.

    Didn't Hertz have used-car lots in the 90's?

    I'm not really sure but, I just didn't want to screw something up anymore then its already been if it was rare and something someone was looking for if I dont find anything on it I will just go as I planned and put 5 speed 302 initially and probably do a chrome yellow and black paint scheme. Keep the bulb hatch and see if I cant find an RS front end maybe some svo spats and window trim dont know thats in the future thanks for the information everyone.

    Looks like a cool Capri!

    Sounds like it could have an interesting history. Might be worth the $ for the Marti report to find out what the true history of it is!

    Good Luck!

    Old thread, but I recently pulled the dash hull out of an 86 Capri and it had a sticker on the side at the driver's door for Hertz, it was a rental.
