I would start (no pun intended) with checking the battery post connections. Then check the connections on your starter.

Sounds like a connection problem for sure. Let us know what you find.

I agree, check for bad cable connections.
If you are connecting the jumper ground to a place other than the battery, such as a mount bracket, then check your ground cables first. On a car that old you could have a bad cable end.
