I would start with the solenoid on the starter,
could be as simple as taking the connections off, cleaning it up with a wire brush so they are nice and shinny copper and then putting them back on

If this does not work, then could be the Bendix in the starter, you can take the starter off and bring it to a Autozone and they will test the starter for you to check the insides.
Or if you wanted, as soon as the engine "binds up" do the old one or two smacks on the end of the starter with a hammer. if you have to do this and it works then the inside of the starter is no good

that is where I would start.....
