Do you know where R12 Freon/Refrigerant for my 1974 Cutlass Supreme

 

R12 is hard to get these days. You can sometimes find it at garage sales. It is all over ebay but you need to have someone with a license buy it. I have a little over 30 lbs stashed away and should last the rest of my life. The price of it should be coming down though. There is so few people that need it any more that it is not that easy to sell. Classic car guys are the only people that use it today.

 

its expensive but pretty easy to get around here..its all over craigslist but ya gotta be fast or you find the guys that watch ebay and pay those prices..

ive heard other parts of the country its impossible just too much competition

i have paid 20 a 14oz can when i needed it...

ive bought new cases of 12 for $100

best deal i got 2 cases brand new still sealed for $125 i was the first to call and was there in 10 minutes...but tht was 5 years ago..those type of deals are just gone

 

Do a search on R152A. Lots of people are having good results in old systems and it's dirt cheap.

 

I am in refrigeration and I would highly advise against it. Not going to get into the reasons why here but it is not a good idea.

 

Please do say.

 

I have 20lb in a drum I'll sell if you can figure out how to get it there.

 

I found a 30# cylinder this spring at a good price so i have alot of 14oz cans i'm going to sell. $20 each plus shipping LMK if your interested.

you can get it at costco, or any tool supply company, but you need a certain class license (father in law is refridge tech)

its still widely used in freezers.
