Jarrod, CK76GT simply means:
C = Australia (British Affiliate),
K = Homebush (Sydney) Assembly Plant,
76 = a 440 Model,
G = 1967 (Year) &
T = August (Month).
27216 is the Production Sequence Number or Serial/Chassis Number.
The next 6 numbers, maybe 236688 (hard to read), are just the SIDO or Single Item Dealer Order number.
12734 means its a 440 4-door deluxe with bucket seats.
D = 1500cc (Engine code) &
V = 4-spd floor shift (Transmission code).
1 = Platinum Blue (Paint code) &
I = Blue (Trim code)

Cheers, Terry

Dark greens are commonly referred to as British racing green, from a time when racing cars were patriotic & identified by their colour (eg france=blue, Germany=silver/white, Italy=red, England=green)

I don't think its a factory colour so your best bet would be to get it matched by a painter

Looks like it may have been raced with the mods it has.
Besides the obvious engine/carby changes the change in postion of the top of the front struts. This is normally done to get more neg.camber.
Maybe not full on but club sprints or hillclimbs ?? Any signs a rollcage may have been fitted.
