Default 75 Driver Door Won't Open

I have a 1975 vette and I can't get the driver side door to open. It's sat for years and today is the first time I've had this happen. It sounds and feels like it's unlocking when I use the key, but it simply won't open. I climbed over the console from the passenger side and tried using the inside lever and putting my shoulder into but still won't open.

Any help or suggestions would be appreciated.

Same thing happen to me, that post did the trick for me. Use a long screwdriver. Im currently in the process of replacing all the glass, door latches, handles etc etc. Looking at the latch out of the car is helpful to learn how it works.
