Handgun??? that is a toss up
4" halflug S&W 586 357 or
6" Model 35 J frame 22lr or
GI spec 1911
Rifle
Marlin 1894c in 357 or
Marlin Mod 39M in 22lr
1953 CJ3A Willy's Jeep with a Oldmobile 215 Aluminum block v8 from a "1962 Oldmobile Special with a 4 speed, 4 barrel" mated to a T90 Willy's transfer case with a Warn overdrive. 16 forward gears and 4 reverse. Warn lock out hubs and American suspension and Detriot lockers in Dana 20 series front and rear with Centerline rims holding Dick Cepek tires. Full roll cage with tuff coat liner inside. OK so I have been planning this since I sold my last 53 Willy's when I bought My wife's engagement ring.

4" M19 S&W 357 Magnum, service stocks and a Tyler T or a Glock 22 if the M19 S&W isn't available.
FAL, genuine article or one of my builds, not a commercial version, if not a FAL I want a M700 PSS or similar in 308.
89-93 Dodge 2500 4x4 with a Cummins and an NV 4500 or a 5600 trans retrofitted into it, turned up to about 275 HP. As long as it is a fantasy I REALLY want a 95-97 Ford 2500 4x4 Crewcab with a 215HP 12 valve Cummins from a 96-98 Dodge donor backed by an NV5600 trans, engine tweaked to 350 or so rear wheel HP and somewhere around 800 Lb/ft of torque. Lift it 4", 35x9.5x16 swampers, and another 100 gallons of fuel in the toolbox/tank combo in the bed.

1911. Either a TRP (maybe an operator frame?) or a custom in 10mm.
FAL or an AR-10. I like the .223, but if i can only have one, i want some more versatility.
BMW M5. I'll settle for a 2003, but i think i could take the new 2005

I'm a little slow here, but I don't really understand the question. Is it: (1) you've got, say, one months' notice that these three choices will be it, and then you have to go out and buy them (if you don't already own them), or (2) you just pick the three and they magically show up?

On second thought, maybe this pistol would be better.

Such limits...
Oh well. I shall stick to what I've already got.
Handgun: S&W Mountain Gun.
Rifle: #4 Mk. 1* SMLE
Ottomobooble: '82 Porsche 928 4.5 litre.
Guns are guns, and are pretty interchangeable. Handgun calibers must start with a 4, however, as handguns are by definition underpowered, and therefor neccessitate big holes. Semi-autos have an ureliability potential (Percieved only in an intellectual capacity, granted.) that I prefer to avoid, so I'll stick to a rifle that demonstrated service-ability through two world wars. I'll admit this is somewhat simplistic thinking, but one must refine drastically restricted choices down to essentials. This means thinking up reasons to disqualify entire classes of good choices, rather than weighing reasons to keep various styles. "Carving hippos, rather than peeling potatoes", to coin a phrase.
The car is a different matter. Ownership of the Porsche has utterly ruined any hope of acceptance of any American car by the likes of me. Having crawled up inside of examples of both breeds, I'm sorry to say that American cars simply do not compare. I'd much rather work on the Porsche, and the engineering seems to reflect so much LESS compromise for the sake of expense. (Later-model examples could perhaps challenge this opinion, but I lack experience with those, and I can only stick with what I know.)

OK, I'll play -
I have my handgun
Rifle, DSA FAL, of course, tricked out in Rhodesian camo, which they told me they can do....
Vehicle? Well, this would do for a family truck...
Austrian Bushmaster LAV, about $300,00, and available on the open market.
