Heat soak?
I agree with mustangII460. I think what's happening is that the older starter is getting "heat soaked". This happens even with new starters, but they are in good enough shape that the car still cranks. An older,weaker, starter will sometimes barely even crank when very hot. This is a sign that the starter is failing.
Being a cheap skate, I buy a rebuilt one from AutoZone with a life time warranty that usually lasts 2-3 years. They've replaced about 2 or 3 so far since 1995. I just keep bringing them back and make them give me a new one (keep the sales slip). BTW, most auto supply stores will test your starter for you if you bring it in. Rev
