I'm actually having the same, or similar, problem on my '72, but since mine is driven daily and yours has been in storage it's possible your brake caliper piston has seized in the bore.
In my case, what I am able to do is reach under the car and gently tap on the brake line with a hammer where the cable exits the cable sheath as show in the pic below. Make sure e-brake is off and car is in gear! Then something (the cable, the spring at the caliper, who knows?) gives way and it releases. I've taken to keeping a small ball peen hammer in my car. If that doesn't work I'd try what Mark and Kevin suggest, perhaps in that order.
I may post another thread about the issue I am having...
