cold start: 3.2 blows up on cold start?! HELP

Hello.

I went out to start my 1984 Carrera (it was last driven two weeks ago) and it backfired when it was turning over and blew the entire motor. I thought it might have been the starter but I pulled the starter to find that the starter is perfect. The motor still turns, but it makes a very nasty metal-to-metal noise. Please help. The backfire was so violent it shook the whole car. I have never heard of a motor seizing during a cold-start. Please let me know if this has happened to someone else or what you think it could be. THE CAR NEVER STARTED, IT BACKFIRED WHEN IT WAS TURNING OVER. It had oil, oil-pressure, and gas.

Please help!

Thank you
