If these connections become poor - and heat can turn them from just passable to problems - the lights and starter will work fine, but the car will absolutely not start. Check these connections and clean them up. May or may not be the problem, but it was on my old girl 10 years or so ago and after fixing this she didn't miss a beat and is still happily running today.
