When I had that happen to my old '84, it was the auto shifter lockout on the ignition switch that failed. My car was actually stuck to the point you couldn't turn it off while it was running.

Replacing the ignition switch fixed the problem on my 84.

The red arrow is pointing to the high/low lamp switch, the ignition switch is opposite of that on the column, under the dash.
