ACC = Accessory line
When decoding ACC line on the Fisher body tags, be aware that body tags do not include any options that did not require any body modification be done by Fisher. Fisher was only concerned with items that required modifications during the assembly of the body. A good example is that you won’t find Telescopic column listed on the body tag. Although this is a major option, it did not require any special consideration during body assembly.

Welcome to the Corvair Forum.
Your Corsa convertible is the top of the line with the optional turbo-charged engine. An estimated number of 2100 of the Corsa convertibles with the Turbo-Charged engine were made in 1965 - a very low production number for Chevrolet.
