not really other than value. Some people think the mini-tubbed 69 looks lower in the rear due to the fenderwell shape, and prefer the 69 look. I prefer the dash in the earlier cars, and the 67/8's look pretty cool without a front bumper if you wanted; the 69's don't pull that off very well. Otherwise the first gens are very similar with most all suspension, drivetrain, etc. being identical.

Still say build what you like if you're keeping it, and build a 69 if you have any plans of selling it.
