Definately sounds like earthing (grounding) problem. Run a Jump lead between the battery - post and to the engine block. Not the heads, or inlet, but the block. Then also run a jump lead from the + battery post directly to the starter solenoid, the big terminal NOT connected to the starter motor. If now all OK then it is a grounding, OR positive feed problem. If still dead, then check the wires between the starter solenoid and the alternator, there is connection down this wire where all the vehicle power is taken from to run auxillaries, lights, ignition, etc (that is, if it is wired with an ammeter like Most Mustangs)
