Tony is an absolute fanatic. I would take a guess that he wouldn't like most of the cars that come to him for a PPI. He's been a mechanic on many of the factory Le Mans sponsored teams. I can't quite think of anyone I know who seems to know more than Tony (maybe Jerry Woods and him could duke it out and it would be close).
Needless to say, if Tony gives it the thumbs up, then I would say it's got to be a good car. Remember that compression tests are only one measurement of the engine condition, and aren't always completely accurate. The fact that the numbers improved during tests proves this.
Nothing is set in stone, but if Tony says the car is okay, I would buy it (if the price is in your range).
