That's not a bad deal at all. I thought it would be more expensive.

NOS...years ago is cost more. IIRC you can't buy a servo new for the price of the whole kit.

From what I understand, there is quite a bit of work to be done as the whole system works off of vacuum and other components. Most people who have tried have found that It is not worth the money.
Alternatively, I know some people who have installed hand-throttles on their vehicles. They are normally used for handicapped folk, but can be installed on most cars and have a lock to set a certain throttle position. Its not quite the same, and doesnt cancel automatically when you hit the brakes, but it may be another solution that could work for you.

Hey thanks for the information. That is exactly what I needed to know. So the steering wheel comes complete? It looks like it doesn't have a front cover on it??

The front cover is the airbag. You reuse yours.
As to compete, check with the seller, but it appears he is selling the Ford accessory kits for those owners wanting to add cruise to their cars.

It's actually pretty easy. I installed it on my last focus. The biggest pain is that you have to run a wire from the drivers side to the pass side and tap into a wire my the Fuel Cutoff reset switch.
Other than that you swap wheels and add a switch to the brake (Also the clutch if it's stick)
