Series on production is 108594. Which is February, 1971. Trim tag is G02. Is that possible to have a February 02,1971 with a production series for February 108594.

According to the C3 Registry:
Approximate birthday 194371S108594: February 4, 1971

My '71 with I19 on the trim tag:
Approximate birthday 194371S115026: April 19, 1971

Great looking LT1!

Hi t,
The sequence numbers for February 1971 production began with 108231 and ended with 110886.
Your car's sequence number 108594 would indicate a car produced in the first week of February production.
Remember, the trim tag was created and installed on the BODY typically a day or two before the CAR left the assembly line.
I believe St.Louis was operating in 2 shifts during this period and assembling about 120 cars per day.
Regards,
Alan

Yep. Two shifts per day and Saturdays. Trim tag attached on Ground Hog Day. Car could easily have been finished by 2/4.
