question about my auto tranny

Ok, so I have an automatic transmission on my '83 Trans Am. When I put it in park, the car still moves (even with the parking break on). I bought this car as a project, and it doesn't even start yet, but I'm wondering what I should be checking for to see if this problem is fixable. What might be wrong, and how do I go about fixing this?

make sure that when you put the shifter in park the tranny is actually getting to park

Transmission: 700R4, 4L60E, 700R4 NonLU
If the source of the trans is unknown, the parking pawl maybe broken and the rear brakes are probably worn out also.
