Correct on the 64-69 GTO.
Fender mount manual antenna , or rear quarter electric antenna , with a radio.
No radio = no antenna

You don't need an antenna for FM band if you have good local stations.
For AM band , you can just plug an old metal clothes hanger into the receptacle.
I bench test a lot of old radios.

Its a shame he cut a hole in his car.
A friend of mine bought a new 77 SE , it came with AM radio.
He put a new aftermarket AM-FM Cassette in it shortly after.
After about 5 years his radio reception went terrible so he bought a new windshield thinking it was antenna problem.
It didn't change one bit - was the radio itself.

He also waxed it so much that grey primer was showing through in a lot of thin spots after 3-4 years.
