The man is Ted Pritchard of Australia.  He is pictured with his Holden Torana-based steam car from 1977.

Right! You can see Pritchard's earlier attempt at a steam powered vehicle in the background, which has already been a puzzle here in the past.

Here's the unmodified pic plus Ted with an early model of the car

That's the car, yes.
Locked for you to answer the other questions correctly (it wasn't made in 1975).

Made by Edward 'Ted' Pritchard ,based on a 1963 Ford Falcon.
lt was finished in 1967 and had a nickname "‘Green Stripe’ XM .
1975 is the year when second production was shown on Melbourne International Auto Show.

I'll give you the point.
Actually the car shown at the 1975 Melbourne Show was only a scale model. This is the full-size car built 1977/9 and based on a Holden Torana body. Pritchard called this one the 'Advanced Pritchard Steam Car'.
The steam car based on the Ford Falcon was built in the 1960s and was featured here:
