The slave may be shot but these can be rebuilt for almost nothing (rebuilt
kit are about $15CDN) and you can easily do it yourself. But before doing
all that, since ISTR that you said that the car had been sitting for many
years, the clutch may just be stuck to the flywheel.
When I did rebuilt all the clutch hydraulics, I ended up with the same
problem, couldn't dissengage (car had been sitting for 10 years). Here's
what you can do:
1) Make sure there is enough space in front of the car (20-30 feet to be
safe)
2) put the transmission in fourth gear
3) press the clutch pedal
4) press the brake pedal
5) turn the key to start the car
In my case, it worked like a charm. Clutch got unstuck right away and I
found out that my rebuilt was done properly!
Good Luck!
