This is very common in these older cars - people often install a hot-start relay. The problems can be traced back to old wiring that becomes brittle and no longer can carry the current that is needed to start the car. The solution is to wire up a relay in place of the voltage that goes to the starter, and then have this relay supply current directly to the starter by means of a new, or replaced cable. Or, you may be missing your ground strap from your engine (or it may be dirty). I would check this first.
