Having had two squarebacks, I would suspect a discharged battery. Give that baby a strong jump!!!

By not turn over, do you mean not turn AT ALL, or turn but not start?
Not turn at all: battery (or possibly starter or regulator) Turn no start: check fuel.. either bad fuel or no delivery. Mosty I would suspect discharged battery. I had an old bug that sat for long periods of time towards the end there, and it ate bateries during that time.

My brother had a '73 Bug that sat for a long time. He said it wouldn't start, and I thought he meant dead battery. When I was visiting him, though, I found his keys and gave it a try. All I had to do was crank it for like 20 seconds 3 or 4 times. Maybe it was just gunked up? But once I got it going it was going strong!
Best of luck, and we want pics!!!!!

like mentioned above make sure it has a fresh battery , Also see if the engine will turn over by hand , if not shoot some penetrating (sp?) oil in the cylinders let it soak couple days then try
