I own a 1974 Vette with 22,000 miles. Drives great, but after cruising long enough for the engine to get hot, it will not start after stopping for anything longer than 10 minutes. It will start immediately after stopping, but it struggles to turn over. Wait longer than 10 minutes and the starter doesn't even attempt to turn. I am able to jump start the car in this state. I put in a new battery and the problem still exists.

You need to get a Starter Heat Shield and maybe a better quality starter. This is called heat soaking and is very common.

It looks like this unit from Mr. Gasket
