R12 Freon was mainly used in older vehicles and a few marine ac applications. Todays's are R22 and R134a. R12 is an extremely rare commodity.

Not trying to burst any bubbles here but take a look at this:

Why would anyone want it? It is very simple to convert
an R-12 system to 134 and it works quite well. Just
flush,put on a new drier/accumulator,change the mineral
oil to ester oil,install new fittings & charge with r-134.
Works perfect.

Sometimes. Many CCOT systems require a smaller diameter orifice tube to control evaporater core flooding.

wow,$575 USD for a 30 lb jug, I remember paying 30 bucks Canadian when I started doing a/c. I think 400 a jug was the last I paid when it was still legal in Canada.

Thanks for the input. I knew it was worth a fair bit of money, but surprised its going for $575.
I will weigh it and see what its really worth and make sure the buyer has the proper license.

The cost of labor is so high that it's not worth it on most older vehicles to convert over. Very quick and easy to do a evac/recharge vs. conversion to r134a. Most people that own a car that is still r12 will not spend the extra dough to upgrade. Besides, an r12 system will outperform an r134a system hands down.

I have ac in my 1986 cig. It worked fine in 98 when I bought it. But now it does not. Would I expect my system to be R12? I'm considering selling the boat and wonder should I recharge(r12), refirb (R134) or replace all together. I don't use the ac much, so my concern would be for the next owner . Sugestions appreciated.

Yes,but what happens after your $25 a lb R-12 leaks
out. Recharge it again with more R-12?. At least after
a conversion if you develop a leak it doesn't cost
squat to recharge after a repair. I do tons of A/C
work in my shop & stopped using R-12 4 years ago.
It just wasnt cost effective. Also after measuring many
properly working systems,there is very little difference
between a R-12 system & a R-134 system. 2-3 degrees
at the top end.
