Exclamation Barn find 69 olds 98

I have a 1969 -98- that has been parked for 13 years. The car started right up ok .Put it in reverse and it was slow to react but after I reved it up it backed up but it pumped trans fluid out of fill tube and blew the dip stick completely out. Oil everywhere!
First time I have seen something like this.
Help! Thank you.

Did you add any fluid prior to this event? Check the vent tube at the top of the transmission case to see if its clogged.

I've had the radiator leak internally causing water to mix in the transmission cooler. The water in the transmission boiled over causing steam and transmission fluid to squirt out of the filler tube. So much transmission fluid leaked onto the hot exhaust manifold it actually ignited. After having the fire department put out the fire and changing the radiator I discovered that the water in the transmission delaminated the paper clutches and the transmission was toast.
