I was highly impressed with use of evaporator coils for drying
compressed air.

I called a few HVAC contrators from yellow pages, and, unfortunately,
none of them could give me anything. I would like to hear some
creative ideas on where to get them.


Actually I think your idea of a automotive condenser coil is good.
One out of large pickup or even a truck. Make it up with one of those
and mount it in front of the pulley on the air compressor so that it
moves air through it and I think you'd be in good shape. If it proves
to be to small you can always go and get another one.

I will check it out... Is it rated for appropriate PSI? (say 200 PSI)


Easily. Pop off pressure on R-12 is generally 350 PSI. By using the
condenser instead of the evaporator you're using the component made to
take that pressure.
