KBB takes into account what cars routinely sell for and gather evidence that supports that. So if KBB private party value is $8K I'm sure they did their research to support that a ten year old Mustang that SVT made about 10,000 of that year will sell for about $8,000.
Rare or not, the car did not hold its resale value all that well. Much like my SVT Contour 
Not to take this thread in too far of a tangent, but KBB is so completely full of **** it isn't even funny. Case(s) in point.
When I sold my Volvo last year, I couldn't find anyone willing to pay what they had listed as "private party:good condition" considering the car had no rust, never been in an accident and had service records from dealers since day 1. Futhermore, when I bought my Infiniti I bought it for less than they had it listed for as trade in value, and this was at a dealer!!! Coincidently when I sold it, I only got what they had listed as trade in value (dealers weren't even coming close to what KBB had listed for trade-in). Same story with my Escape (although I haven't sold it yet, I am sure it will be the same story). KBB smokes some seriously wicked crack or somethin'
"Bros before Hoes" <-- More men need this mentality.
