'69 GTO ignition problem

Okay, so my dad has a '69 GTO with a 400 in it. He bought it back in the early 90s and restored it but it has had an ignition problem forever and we can't seem to fix it. It will start up fine and run great, but once you turn it off you can't start it again until it cools off. You hit the ignition and all you hear is a click. Happens every time. He has taken it to many mechanics and they can't figure it out. I'm wondering if any one else has come across a problem like this.
