It needs a transmission. You won't get much for it the way it is but a new transmission could be more than the car is worth. Do the math!
Maybe check the transmission fluid level, it might be low. Add if needed.
I'm assuming you're talking about being able to move the shifter lever out of park. Sounds like the transmission shift brake interlock solenoid is sticking. It's mounted on top of the steering column near the dimmer switch and ignition switch. If that's the problem, fix it before selling it. Hope that helps! Jim
