BRAKE DESPERATION!

I just bought a 1969 95 and am trying to get it shipped to me in Sacramento from Dallas. Problem is, it doesn't have a working master cylinder, and the current owner is trying hard to just get the parking brake to work so it'll get on the transport as a 'driver'. I've never worked with one before, so I'm trying to learn on the fly. Seems to me that a simple cable parking brake can't be that hard to fix if the cable is intact. Would the likely problem (since the car has been sitting for years) be that it's just jammed at the brake shoe area?
I've read the archives on master cylinders and it appears that the best bet for THAT is to have it resleeved since replacement cylinders are so hard to find. Is that the prevailing thought? We're trying to get it out and on the road by next week sometime, so any <quick> thoughts will be very welcome!
Thanks,
Bill
