I can only speak for myself here, but my GUESS would be that the difference is that all that other stuff happend at the time, and not 40 years later. Everyone knew what Shelby DID 40 years ago, and didn't care. But he's STILL in control, still making decisions, still making cars, and still involved with what happens to those cars and their owners NOW.
