It's a stress crack, not rust or rot though they will come shortly if it's not addressed. My 1974 has it and several other E-Bodies that I have seen, regardless if they have been raced or not. As someone else noted, welding is a BIG help on these cars and in many cases you can slip in a littel reinforcing to address some of the factory shortcomings when making such a repair.
