Factory specifications, fluid capacities, torque values, EPA fuel economy and the federal safety record for the 1975 245.

The JSON you've provided ("1975 Volvo 245 Overview") contains only a label and no factual data — no body style, platform, engine, specifications, or reliability history. To write a paragraph that covers body/platform/engine, works in standout specs naturally, and closes on the model's reliability history without inventing facts, I need the actual fact set. Could you share the full JSON with the specifications, platform, engine, and reliability information you want included?
