first, welcome.
Fuel injected or carbs? Possible hydro-lock. Remove the spark plugs and see if it will crank. KT |

put it in the air, pull the spark plugs, put it in gear, and see if you can turn the engine over with one of the wheels.

Carbs or FI? Engine could be flooded and hydrolocked, or it could be seized for some other reason. If the car will move out of gear, but not in gear, then it's probably not the trans. As the problem occured with the clutch depressed, or at least the trans out of gear, it doesn't sound like you need to pull the trans. The starter could be the culprit, but it would be unusual for the drive pinion to be out and frozen.. if it's hydrolocked, you can put it in 5th and push the car backwards, slowly. That will let the gasoline into the exhaust. Once the engine is emptied of gasoline, you can crank it over and get on with the repairs. If you have carbs, look for a stuck float. if you have FI, this wouldn't have happened and you'll have to look elsewhere. The Cap'n

Since the started seems to start to turn the engine from what you said, if it were me I'd pull the starter before anything else.
