Rudolph Rick says Hi for the time - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

Rudolph Rick · 06-18-2009, 12:55 PM

I want to introduce myself to the Camaro 5 members. My name is Rick Armijo, and I work at Rudolph Chevrolet in El Paso Texas.

My speciality is Corvette's and Camaro's. I have been in the car business for over 20 years. I am also a car buff and own some different GM muscle an special interest vehicles. My Chevy is a 68 El Camino, my wife's is a Corvette, and eventually I hope to get a Camaro when the white becomes available with Inferno Orange interior and stripes.

I finally delivered my first two customer's Camaros, a Silver SS/RS stick with Cyber Gray stripes, and a Victory Red SS/RS auto with Cyber Gray Stripes. I have 16 more ordered. Rudolph is not marking sold order Camaros up, nor are we adding for any kind of "mop and glow" pinstripes etc.

I sell to customers all over the southwest. If anyone is having issues finding a Camaro at MSRP I will be glad to assist them. I am also very competitive on Corvette's. I currently have silver "Competition Package" Z06 coming in with the Comp Gray wheels, and Racing "Jake Skulls" sewn into the seats that is not presold. You can view the package on Corvette Forum. My email is rarmijo@rudolphchevrolet.com and my direct number is (915) 487-3012. Please leave your name an best call back number if I cannot answer. I will call you back.

I will also be here asking questions, and looking to be up to date on latest Camaro info. Ususally you guys know if before we get it here at the dealership. If I can be of assistance, please contact me. We require only a $500 deposit to place a Camaro sold order, and it is deducted from the MSRP when your car arrives. It seems like production is ramping up so deliver times should start to improve.

Here at work they call me "Corvette Rick" but my Camaro 5 name is "Rudolph Rick" since I work here. You can view our website at www.rudolphchevrolet.com. Just remember any Camaro's you see in inventory are already sold. We are not keeping cars for ourself and marking them up as many dealers are. I may be able to purchase Camaro's for quicker delivery but we have to negotiate with the selling dealer. We purchased one for a display vehicle and paid over MSRP ourself.

I hope you all enjoy your Camaro's. I am really impressed with the cars including how strong the V6 runs. GM is going to survive the current market and Camaro's will play a big part. Thanks for your loyalty to Chevy and GM!

Hi Robert,

I will check status as soon as I can. I have been swamped here since I got back from vacation. I can't wait to see your car. I have a loaded Inferno Orange 2SS for a customer in Alamogordo, and an Imperial Blue 1SS manual with polished wheels for a soldier due in this month. Yours should be getting close.

Chris, I handle Internet Sales, but I do not track our inventory. It looks like there is a pretty good tracking system on the Camaro 5 website. I was using it to see what was close for our store!

matt787 · 06-23-2009, 10:15 AM

Rick, you mentioned you had a '68 El Camino. If you haven't already, check out current Collectible Autobobile Magazine which features 68-72 El Camino! Great article.

matt787 · 06-23-2009, 05:07 PM

Rick, I read this on another forum: "CMG and white Stripes are installed at the factory, everything else dealer installed." What color has Rudolph Chevy seen delivered with stripes? And have any been dealer-installed?

novajess1972 · 06-23-2009, 05:57 PM

Welcome aboard Rick!

Vash · 06-23-2009, 09:36 PM

Welcome and very nice intro.

ac223mal · 06-27-2009, 07:46 AM

I ordered my car through Rudolph Rick, he is a great guy to do business with and a great guy to just talk to. It was a great experience and I couldn't have been happier.

I think they have only had two different sets of stripes come in. A set of already dealer installed flat black stripes on the car they bought from another dealer to have a camaro in the show room, and two cars that came in with the CGM stripes installed by the factory. One of those was mine. Matt787 hopefull thay work for you, untill Rick can chime in.

scythezo6 · 08-24-2009, 11:52 PM

Ordered my Black SS/RS Cyber Grey striped camaro from Rick at the beginning of the month and he has been more than helpful.

Checkin' in Rick! Thanks a bunch.

Also thanks ac223mal for the lift in the beauty! Really helped me with my decision too.
