Most importantly, was it an automatic????  The '69-70 Alpine GT's with
automatic transmissions had 3.7:1 rear axle ratios as opposed to the usual
3.89:1,

On a road trip today to deliver my Formula car to it's new owner (Dennison, 
IL near Terre Haute, IN), I stumbled across a Sunbeam Alpine GT.  Out of the 
corner of my eye I spotted "Sunbeam" in script on the rear deck lid and had 
to stop.  It was sitting next to this country road under about 6-8 inches of 
snow with a bunch of other abandoned looking cars (typical for southern 
Indiana/Illinois country yards...).  It is a complete white fastback, with 
Rootes/Chrysler markings, kinda different taillights and serial #B399002822. 

I couldn't open the hood  due to the snow.   I'm no expert with these.  What 
is it?

I didn't have a camera (of course) and I'm kicking myself for not going up 
the (kinda scary looking) house to inquire about it.  If someone wants 
directions, let me know.
