It is true that an FE powered Cobra will sell for more than a 385 series motor in the same car. This is well documented.
The OP's question was based on the same cobra manufacturer with either an Automatic 385 or a 4-speed FE. If the cars are in similar condition and the price is the same, the FE would appear to be the bargain between the two if they are the same price.
However if you have a bum knee, the automatic is looking good anyway isn't it?
