Most of us humans get saggy after several decades, but my engine lid will not stay in the upright position. All looks ok, I can't imagine the torsion bars lose their power?

Check the "L" brackets to which the lid bolts. Dollars to donuts one or both are cracked and pulling away from the fire wall. Pretty common.
