1984 Pontiac T1000

Factory specifications, fluid capacities, torque values, EPA fuel economy and the federal safety record for the 1984 T1000.

The brief asks for a paragraph that weaves together body/platform/engine details, standout specifications, and a reliability-history placement, but the only facts provided in the source data are the model year and name (1984 Pontiac T1000), engine oil capacity (4 qt), and recommended oil viscosity (10W-30 or 5W-30). There is no information in the JSON about body style, platform, engine type, other specifications, or reliability history, and the rules require sticking strictly to the supplied facts with no invention. Because the requested paragraph cannot be written without fabricating body, engine, spec, or reliability claims that are not in the source, I'm unable to deliver it as specified. If you can supply the additional reference data (body style, platform, engine, key specs, model-year reliability context), I'll produce the paragraph to the stated standard.
