Having an auto trans does not make a Cobra kit any less of a replica of an original.

I put an auto in my old LAE when I found that there were six 427 and thirty 289 original cars that came with automatics.

The last two cars Shelby made, the ones with the dual Paxtons, were equiped with an automatic to be able to control all that power in spirited starts.

It was noted that the manual in these cars made them impossible to get off the line in a hurry.
