I have the vehicle listed above GT hardtop convertible.

I was pulled over for a DUI and when I went to jail my car was working fine going in forward and reverse! When I got out of jail it was at impound so when I'm getting it from impound it won't go in drive only in reverse. I was told by a witness that the town truck didn't put it in neutral and Drug it onto the flatbed. What would this be besides a transmission needing replacement?

I am sorry to hear that, yep, the transmission sounds like it got damaged which should be the only thing, can I ask how the engine runs? If okay, then just the transmission will be the issue. Does it grind going into gear or what is the problem exactly? Please go over this video:
