Not starting
I am having an intermitent issue with my Bertone. So when it is cold it starts right up but after I have driven it for a while and it is at running temp. I go to start the car again and it just clicks till finally it starts. Has anyone had this issue ? And if so what did you do to correct it.

if it clicks it's probably not the solenoid.
To be sure, take a medium hammer with you and the next time it does this, pop the hood and whack the solenoid (top of the starter) to unstick it. If this doesn't momentarily fix this, you probably have a flat spot on the flex plate, or you could have worn teeth on the starter.
You can resolve the question by removing the starter and the bottom cover on the trans (if it's there) then you can look at the starter, and the flex plate.
If it's the flex plate you can put a socket on the crank pulley and haul it around to a new starting place ( 180 degrees should do it).
Let us know how it goes, that's what makes a forum work.
