starting problems

Has anyone had problem, when you turn the key on, the radio and everything comes on but the starter never starts, just nothing. I then have to put it in nuetral and then back in drive a couple of times then it starts. Has anyone seen this issue. Thanks for your help.

I had that happen on a 65 Mustang ;-) Sounds like a neutral safety switch problem to me.

I guess then back into Park to actually start it, not in Drive?

Try holding the key turned to try and start it, then wiggle the shifting lever around in the Park position and see if it starts. It might just be a loose safty switch in the column.
