Call a wrecker and get another one. You can't get rebulid kits for them anymore.

Whats actually wrong with it ?
Slow to turn over ?
They are very simple to fix, usually the plunger in the soliniod gets coroded and just needs to be cleaned up painted with a decent epoxy and reassembled. will work like new.

The starter would click a few rimes then start. Now its completly dead. The car is an auto. Still no starter. Can anyone confirm a part number?

beat the crap out of your starter with a hammer, it will probably start and then you can drive home and fix it properly.
