Back wheels locked up

I just bought a 91 240 and towed it home yesterday with a tow dolly, well on the way home the wheels were spinning fine i made sure it was in neutral and the hand brake was down but once i got home and went to pull it off it wouldnt move the back wheels are locked, What could the problem be?

If the tranny's definitely in neutral there's only so many things it could be. If it is the brakes, they may have been locked up before you picked up the car, did you move the car before towing it? If yes my theory goes out the window, if no then maybe you didn't notice because whatever you were using to tow, it was able to force the wheels to turn. I have to admit it's far fetched though, but I'm too tired to think any harder and someone else on here may have a better idea.

the car ran fine and drove fine when i picked it up but now i think the engine is shot cuz i discovered a hole in the oil pan like something shot out and the car wont start and the wheels are still locked i guess its time for that sr20

the hole in he pan probably explains the motor not runnin but not the rear wheels, if you have like 20 minutes you should pull the wheels and brakes.
