There’s not too much historical options data for free that I’m aware of, mostly just current quotes. However, you can approximate the option price using Black-Scholes model, a volatility graph, and historical stock prices.
Here’s how you’d find the stock price info.
Go to Yahoo finance (http://finance.yahoo.com)
Type in your symbol of the stock you’re looking for
Then on the left, click on historical quotes
You can then type in the date range you want and download the data to excel or wherever.
Or if you prefer, you can go to this link instead. Just replace GOOG with the stock symbol that you’re looking for.

If that doesn’t do it for you, here’s a couple of sites you can check out for some “pay for” historical prices.
Historic Volatility Calculator

Historical Option Data

Hope that helps!
*FYI, the adjusted price is the stock price adjusted for splits. So if a stock was at 100, and split 2 for 1 to 50, the adjusted price would show you the price as if the stock had always been at 50 so you can determine the real change in value of that stock over time.

Hmm, someone didn't read the question, or doesn't understand.
Historical option quotes are hard to come by, even for a fee. And they are more expensive to buy also. Premium services are heavily guarded, like gold. The problem is more logistical than anything. Think about how many strike prices and expiration months there are, in any given month, for a single stock or index.
If you already have a data feed, you might see about adding options, and collect your own. Or buy an option evaluation program, and it will come with a limited data set or data feed.
For now, you can get free quotes from the Yahoo Options Center

Good luck finding a specialized, premium service for free.

I've made a nice profit on a couple of suggestions he's given and plan to start trading his ideas a lot more. I definitely recommend subscribing to https://tr.im/pennystocktrading
Very good research, quality stocks. I was a bit weary of penny stocks from all the bad hype they receive but this guy is pretty legit. He's put my mind at ease with a lot of the fears I've had.
