69 baja won't start


I bought a 1969 baja about a week ago for $1000 us. Driving it home from school downhill it ran fine, even up short hills that were quite steep. It over-heated coming back up the hill on my return to school. I noticied it wasnt performing well (wouldnt get over 45 in third gear) but thought this may be normal for a 69 bug. The first time it died, i let it sit, checked the oil, eventually got it to start, and continued on my journey. the second time, i couldnt start it with the key, so i push started it down the hill i was trying to make it up, it died again on the same hill, but the second time i tried to do the same thing, and instead of the engine starting when i let out the clutch, it locked up, like i was pressing the brake. It wont even jump start now, and when i turn the key it just clicks once. Any ideas??
