LOL.  Well, sure everyone has ideas, including you.  Checking the shifter
contacts was my first thought.  I would guess a bad starter switch or
starter soleniod.  Next time she won't start, try lightly tapping the
starter with a hammer while someone turns the key.  If this works, you know
its the starter.  Had this problem in a 78 bus.  Wouldn't show any signs of
life, then start up all the sudden.
