money no object, what 5 cars would you put in a big garage of your dreams? Muscle cars, Exotic/Supercars, Antiques, Off-Road?
No boats or motorcycles(those would need a separate building). Pictures are encouraged.
 
5 in the garage plus an oil well.
Plymouth Superbird. Because I can and don’t care about climate change.

Peugeot Asphalte. Peugeot concept cars are so cool. Something horrible happens on the way to the assembly line.

1970 or so Jeep CJ5. I would not take a new one for free

Cord 810, convertible of course. Is there a better car to go to dinner on a Saturday night or show up at a wedding?

How fun!
#1. CanAm version of Porsche 917. Unbridled brute force engineering to accomplish a goal. 1580 Hp, no computers

#2. Porsche 930. Brutish, will kill you if you lift off the throttle in corner. God inspired turbo lag that scares the crap out of you and you hold on for dear life with a grin you couldn't wipe off even at a friends funeral. Air cooled wonderful mechanical cacophony right behind your head.

#3. Ferrari 328
Probably the most beautiful modern sportscar ever made.

It would be tough to pick only 5.

For cars that I would actually drive:
I have a Jeep Wrangler Unlimited that I actually use for offroad, I would trade it in on a brand new Rubicon.
I also have an older Cadillac CTS-V so for a road car I might pick the latest model of that, or maybe a Tesla Plaid.
For a sports car I think a brand new Corvette C8 would be pretty good. I'm not up on the latest in supercars but something like a McLaren comes to mind.

That's only 3 or 4, but...
Some of the cars that I've always admired the most are the 1967 Corvette coupe, the original Ford GT, and the Ferrari 250 GTO. I wouldn't own the Ferrari because I would never actually drive it. The other 2 could be occasionally driven although I would be afraid to drive them around where I live. So maybe a more modern Ferrari that was easier to repair and replace.

2. Any decent Morgan. This one is a favourite.

3. Studebaker Avanti. Because it's sex on wheels.

4. Matra D-Jet. Mid-engined gorgeousness from another era. Here's the one Gagarin had...

5. Lastly... a big a$$ old station wagon. Because big a$$ station wagons are the biz.

Reminds me of the time I asked a co-worker if she had a billion bucks what car would she get. Her reply: Honda Civic.
