Connection from battery to starter is bad, starter is bad or engine is bad. It's usually not the engine. Start by clearing the connection. If you can get good access to the bendix on the starter, a quick test is to run a jumper cable (the ones you use to jump start the car are great for this) from the positive post on the battery to the battery bolt on the starter solenoid. Clamp it on, take the car out of gear and use a short jumper to connect the keyswitch lug on the solenoid to the side of the jumper cable clamp. Make this jumper by crimping a push-on connector to each end of a foot-long piece of 12-gauge stranded wire. If the car cranks good, just change the cable from the starter to the battery and you're done. If it doesn't work, pull the starter and have it tested.
