Need some help with possible diagnosis

So i was driving around the other day in my 88 vert and felt like having a little fun. so i dump the clutch around 5 grand and the car doesnt move. Now, im thinking either throw out bearing, bad clutch, or maybe even i grenaded the rear end. I don't think that it's the rear end because there is no sound other than the reving motor when i rev it with the clutch engauged. the speedo shows me going 30 mph when im standing dead still so i think it's either clutch or something. I tried all gears and i get nothing with all of them.

So what do you guys think, and a link to a instructions on how to replace what ever it is would be Seriously awesome. Im going to go start taking it apart right now so i'll let you guys know what i see ect. Thanks.

Does the speedo moves when you it the throttle? If yes then it's your rear end.
