Ok, I have a lot of questions
Is there any any rust (my biggest deciding factor)
Collisions?
Also is that blue seats with a black interior or an all blue interior? its kind of hard to tell in the pics.
Condition of interior? (all switches and things work, does the dash have any tears, condition of carpets/seats/console etc.)
Suspension - Original struts/springs?
Any clunks or strange noises while driving?
Tires - Condition?
Brakes - Condition?
Does the air conditioning work?
I think I see manual windows and locks. Is this right?
Do you have emmission testing at all in oklahoma? If so has it been passing ok?
Does the sunroof leak?
Does the engine leak/burn oil in any large amount?
This ticking you refer to, is this just the valves ticking or something worse like rod bearings. (or do you not know)
Do you have any maintenance records?
Has the car been smoked in?
Whats up with that spoiler? Thats not stock?
Does it have an alarm or anything else (aside from the mentioned stereo) custom wired in? (I see some strange wiring in the engine bay next to the latch.)
How is the paint condition (kind of hard to tell since the pics are in the shade) Has any of it been repainted?

Are there any notable really good or really bad things you can think of, like the first thing someone would notice when they looked at or drove the car?

Sorry that's kind of a long list but hopefully you can answer most of it.
Thanks

Thanks for the extra info. I am going to pass (due to the rust and accident). But good luck with the sale.

No problem Chris. Any time you need help you can always call me.

Nice car here guys...I think he'll be better off keeping it as a project car.

If you decide to rebuild the 16 valve engine (which is what I did) let me know. There are some good deals out there on parts and machine work.
