They carry the GM Powertrain Warranty, supplemented by the Callaway Powertrain Warranty.
Hertz's financial position does not impact any of the above.
Collectability wise, 2 of the 25 have been sold so far, with more coming soon, I would imagine.

I wish I could have one of these in my garage, as one can look back at past Hertz powerhouse cars, and their other "cosmetic cars" and see they generally are very collectible.

Still a rental though.

These cars can take it. As long as its in good cosmetic condition, it’ll be fine. Callaway’s 2010 Grand Sport has 285k miles on it. It’s been a track car, press car, loaner, test driver, quarter mile beast for a decade and it’s still in excellent condition. If anything it has not lived a pampered life.
