IML: starting my 64 after a long sleep



I am in a position where I need to move my 64 out of the garage. The car has not been started for several years (3-4). I charged the battery up, poured a little gas down the carb, and turned the key, and nothing happened. There was a single click (like the solenoid firing), and then nothing.

Any ideas on the cause of the nothing? Is it likely a bad starter? Could it be a bad battery (the battery is 7-8 years old, and has been sitting most of that time). Could it be something more serious? Is there an easy way to tell (in case you haven't guessed already, I am not terribly mechanically inclined). I could hear a very quiet whirring sound that could have been the starter spinning, but I can't be sure.

Thanks for any information you can offer to help,
