I'm not sure what the Grace speed control is, unless it is this item:
http://www.icanhelpsew.com/gracie_regulator.html which is an additional $500. This product is compatible with only certain machines (listed on the link) so you would have to get that brand/model to get any use out of it.
So yes I would say this is a good deal if you get a machine that works with the speed controller. Then you need to decide on a sewing machine for the carriage. Which could easily be another thousand or so.
Edited to add, if this CL listing includes a sewing machine then it is a very good deal, but at that price I would be very surprised if the seller is including a machine.
I'm confused. I have a Little Gracie II, the queen sized wood one. This is the older model. They have newer ones now are very expensive and I believe have more metal.
Mine came with leg extensions and the carriage upgrade but was missing some nuts and bolts I had to buy and also I ordered new plastic inserts for the rails. I also had to make leader cloths. All things considered, I paid 100.00 for the frame,less than 20.00 for nuts and bolts and the new rails were 40.00 if I remember correctly. Did I get some kind of screamin' deal? I thought it was a good price but doe the older all wood Little Gracie II really go for that much?
Mine didn't have a speed control but when I entered gracie speed control into my browser I get something that is 60.00 to 70 dollars.
