This is Bill and he loves his Porsche.
In the world of cars, there are endless debates, but one of the biggest is whether a car should be a true daily driver or a pristine piece of art, tucked away in a collection. And while it’s practically impossible to predict the market uproar in classics like early-era Porsches, it’s still important to remember that these cars were engineered to make everyday drives more enjoyable alongside competing in professional racing settings. For Porsche enthusiast Bill MacEachern, his 1975 Porsche 911 Turbo is a lifetime companion.
Over the past 41 years, he’s driven his Porsche well more than 725,000 miles, covering distances that could take him to the Moon and back. Bill’s journey with his 911 began when he test-drove a Porsche 911 T in 1970, which left him hooked on its handling and agility. He eventually bought his Turbo 911 in deep Midnight Blue, marking the start of an adventure that would span decades, countless road trips, and endless memories. From high-speed rallies across North America to drives down to legendary car events in Monterey, Bill’s Porsche has been his co-pilot through thick and thin, including a few repairs along the way.
Today, with over 800,000 miles on the odometer, Bill’s 911 Turbo is still going strong. Despite encountering some bumps, like a broken fan pulley in Oregon or a dent from an SUV accident in 2009, Bill has always found a way to keep his Turbo running. With this milestone reached, his Porsche isn’t destined for retirement. Instead, it remains on the road, serving as an example of Bill’s ongoing passion for the brand and his love for the open road. For Bill, this classic Porsche embodies a lifetime of memories and proves that some cars are built to be driven, not just admired.
