The first thing you want to check is your battery state of charge. If your car has been sitting that long, I can almost guarantee that your battery is dead. If it's been sitting that long, your best bet is to replace the battery.
Fresh fully charged battery and fresh gasoline
Maybe the car needs gas.
If the car will not start after replacing the battery, then the battery was not the problem. If it will not turn over, you may have a bad starter or bad connection. If it turns over but will not start you either have no fuel or no spark. You will have to determine which.
Check your wire from battery to starter, sounds like it may have been pulled loose.
Starter, Gas, Battery, check these first...
Check the battery. I have a 1991 that sat in a storage unit for two years. Dead battery. Bought a new battery and she fired right up!
you cant get it to work when it has been replaced.
yes.
have tried the fuel cut-off switch? I have not. I tried starter fluid. New fuel. I guess that will be my next bet.
have the cables been checked. same happened to my 87 same problem found it was the orgnial cables needed to be replaced.
It means the battery has been drained of all it's power. Simply recharge the battery with a battery charger and it will be fine. You do not have to replace the battery, although draining the battery fully does harm the battery. Charge the battery fully and it will function as it should.
