I have a 93' Ford mustang and it has been sitting for awhile. My brakes seemed to have locked up. What can i do to release them so i can move and\or sell the piece?

It is possible(if it has drum rear) the shoes are rusted to the drums. You might be able to drive it forward and backewards a little and free them up. Or jack it up and remove wheel and release the brake shoes through the adjuster hole. If it had rear disc, it is possible the parking brake shoes are holding the brakes. Good luck.
