Haven't driven it since. So the starter just clicks now when I start it. Problem started when it overheated.

My 89 Firebird started to do the same thing after a hard ride through the mountains. It refused to turn over at first but started after a cool down. The starter went tango uniform not long after. I can only suppose the excessive heat damaged the solenoid somehow. It worked in a cool condition but never warm. I can only supose the engine overheat vs hot engine has speedup up the process.
