Wow! That one is pretty far gone. Never knew they could get that bad. Surprising it did not have symptoms already like those 745TG described on his, I imagine those parts were moving around a good bit. Almost every pre-'86 one I have looked at had at least a little bit of a crack forming on at least one side, but never saw one fail so completely as this. Wonder what caused it to be so especially bad in this car?

I agree, looks like a replacement candidate, especially with the bolt holes elongated in addition to the disintegrating of the x-member...
