But do things really go from normal to complete diaster in the same night?

I actually had that happen to a Laser Turbo I had a long time ago. The cat just let loose with no warning. I thought it was a fuel related issue until I checked the rail. Scratched my head a while. Friend came over, shook my cat, told me it was bad. Changed it out, car was perfect. Might not be your case but they can just go without warning. They're fickle.
Pretty tough to diagnose from your description.
"bucked like a thoroughbred, could hardly get it in gear". Your car is mechanical and thoroughbreds shouldn't buck. Couldn't get it in gear meaning you can't move the shifter? See what I'm saying? If you could give us some more info, maybe reword it..likely it'll be easier to try and diagnose.
I understand that most folks aren't well versed in terms etc that a mechanic would like to hear for a good diagnosis, but we can definately get something figured out.
My first guess would be a plugged cat, maybe a tune up or other small things.
