I don't think so...

I'd be very surprised if any year Sonett had a radio antenna laid into the fiberglass. Mine is a '74 (the last year of production) and it had a regular mast on the right rear fender. I think all Sonett radios were dealer- or importer-installed, not factory, and the mast locations varied -- although I think right rear was the 'recommended' location, and it's possible that the antenna cable on US-spec cars was pre-installed leading to that location, for use by the installer if the customer did order a dealer-installed radio.
I'd guess that's the most likely explanation for what you found: either the cable was pre-installed for a radio installation that never happened, or some previous owner removed the whip and fiberglassed over the hole (which is what I've done with mine.)
