Working on a 65 Barracuda. While under it this weekend, I found that one of the torsion bars has a thick black coating hanging off of it in places and the bar is rusty. The other torsion bar has the black coating intact. This car sits in an open barn/shed most of the time and only goes out a few times in the summer months for cruising. Is this torsion bar in danger of failing? (I have never seen one rusted before.)
 
How bad is it? If it isn't pitted, sand it smooth and recoat/paint it.....
