    I don't think replacing bushings is going to help this. What wheels and tires are you using?

    That thing had a ton of rust. Hit a pot hole?
    Hang a plumb bob from the fender and measure the distance to the tire.
    Do that on each side of the car.

    Looks to me the rear cradle has shifted. That's why I suggested to take measurements. Once you've done that that can be confirmed.

    It can't really be anything else. Look where the shocks are bolted to the frame (top) and see if things are shifted. Car Fax? Take it to get aligned.
