BC,

Again, that question is purely up to your personal taste. The vast majority of Cobra buyers/owners want manual and thus, automatics are harder to sell. But, I really must stress, it's your car, and it depends upon what you want. Even Carroll Shelby himself was reported to own an automatic original. If an automatic is of interest to you, and you find a nice one you'll probably be able to negotiate a better price than a comparable original 4-spd. top loader or even 5-spd. Richmond or Tremec.
