Craigslist? Not sure. Getting pretty hard to find.

Yea it is. I helped a friend change out his AC compressor in his corvette and it needs r12. He doesn't wanna retro to 134a

Man, I don't know if he'll have a choice. IIRC you have to be "certified" to even get it. And even then how much is he willing to pay for a can? Last time I got my hands on one it cost me almost $30.

**DirtDog** · 01-22-2013

He only needs about 1 more can. I'll ask him how much he wants to pay for one

Check Ebay. I got some from there once. Haven't looked in a while since all my running cars are 134.

good luck finding some, and good luck finding some cheap, we sold a little bottle for almost 500 bucks...that ****'s not cheap

**DirtDog** · 01-22-2013

He said he'd be willing to pay 60 for a can. And in eBay all the sellers he fonds wants a copy of his certification

Due to federal law, only licenced repair shops can possess r-12. Might as well go to the pros for a recharge.

google freeze 12,jimmy

**DirtDog** · 01-22-2013

So your saying there's no way for him to get a can?

Checked eBay and so far they're all require paperwork being sent in to sell it to you

I may have a way. If your buddy can hold on and give me till the weekend I'll see what I can do. My Dad has his license and I think I know someone who has a few cans kicking around. Not sure on the price but would probably be looking at $40 or so per can. With my work schedule and sick 4yr old the weekend would be my first chance to get to over to him.

pretty sure i've seen the old school cans being sold at pep boys or auto zone. i saw it over the summer, and was shocked to see it.

**FordMan77** · 01-22-2013

Ok, I'll put the call in and see what I can turn up for you.

**DirtDog** · 01-22-2013

Scott we went and looked at several stores and were told they can't stock it anymore

Scotty- I'd bet that it was Freeze-12, the replacement that is supposedly compatable w/ the old R12 systems. If you don't need a license to buy it, then it's not the old R12. Good ol EPA...
