Tow/push starting any engine that has sat for a long time encourages stuck  
valve guides ( possibly the real reason the car will not start) to grab the  
valve stem and bend the stick causing no end of trouble.  Before doing so,  
spend a day or so lubricating the valve stems with penetrating oil, Marvel  
Mystery oil, ATF or kerosene and then bang on the ends of the valves with  something 
hard to be sure that the valve actually moves when asked to.  The  valve 
guides in my C300,  restored years ago and now DC's, were so stuck to  the valve 
stems after many years of non movement, that banging on two of the  valves 
caused the guide to leave its hole with the stem still  attached.
