    Due the age and history I suspect the radiator may not be doing the job as it should. Also if it has a fan clutch that should be tested also.

    I still would ot rule out that the radiator could be cause of problem. You may need to have a technician check your car for a diagnosis. It may be money spent wisely rather than swapping parts on a guess.
