Default 1969 Porsche 912, rear suspension has dropped to the ground.

I was driving down a brick roads and hit a wide hole and the rear suspension basically dropped to the ground. The rear of the car was dragging on the ground! Engine touching the bricks!
Got it put on a flat bed and towed home. I jacked it and put it on jack stands. I can't see anything obviously wrong. Any ideas?
Thanks,
Bob

Sounds like a torsion bar has broken, or the splined end (female end) at the chassis may have rusted & has detached.
