E brake seized on '85 Camaro...help!!!

I recently found and re bought my first car...a 1985 Camaro Berlinetta. We got it in the driveway but unfortunately our helper pulled the E brake and it is now stuck. The car was sitting in someone's front yard for 10 years. How do I fix this...please help!

figure out where it's sticking and unstick it.. the cable is probably seized in it's covering, so you might just wind up cutting the cable where it hooks up to the drum or caliper.

Whack the backing plates/drums with a hammar a few times.
