(I assume that your Sonett has the same frame and motor mount arrangement as my '69 95; if not the following comments may be invalid.)
The front motor mount bolts are not solid top to bottom. The mounts are very durable and I have never had one separate but it could happen. The top and bottom studs are each bonded to the rubber pad that provides vibration/sound insulation. Your problem sounds like a typical motor mount separation. Just looking at the mounts will not identify this problem. Two ways to diagnose this: 1) Put a jack under the oil pan, block of wood on top of the jack to spread the load & not dent the pan, raise the jack and see if either mount is separated. 2) With an observer watching engine movement, park brake on, clutch pedal down, engage first gear and slowly and carefully let the clutch up to put a strain on the drive train (do not let it up suddenly or all the way). You may need to apply slight throttle to make a good test. This will stress one mount and you may observe abnormal motion. Next, repeat the process in reverse which will stress the opposite mount.
