Hello, got a '66 Corsa, what does this body tag tell me?

[jberd45]

So a couple of weeks ago I bought a '66 Corsa. Pretty rough shape, I don't have any other pictures except the body tag.

It has the 140 horse engine, black interior, the worst yet thorough paint job I've ever seen and more rust than the guy I bought it from let on.

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.

Thank you for the info. I had a suspicion what I've bought was supposed to be a turbo car; unfortunately for me it currently isn't. Somebody swapped in a 140 engine, which isn't bad but that makes this whole project a lot more expensive.
