you can buy from Punjab , dabwali jeeps something . goto Jallandhar and you can get them from there too.
Make sure you can register them, some you cannot

exactly,, like name of dealer/workshop etc?

Visit CHOWDHARY JEEPS in DABWALI and DELHI WALE in MOGA on GT ROAD. Cheaper one will be DABWALI but both are crap in terms of quality and reliability.

dont get assembled ones, get army disposal and get it refitted with diesel engine(either Toyota or Isuzu).
you can get army disposal from any army cantt auction, generally those come with petrol engines, you can buy diesel engine from Delhi (new or used, depending upon your budget) and get it fitted.

Now even army Jeeps come with diesel engines. But they are mahindra MM 540 (THAR) not short body old bushrangers. If you are looking for Willy's or ford look modified short body they will be assembelled and chassis cut. No point of buying them. Army Jeeps are good and engine will also do one or two years with good transmission and rust free chessis.

I heard someone saying that you still can retrieve old 60's army willys and can restore them. If yes can they be registered again ?

You can buy either toyota or isuzu diesel engines. Transmission can still be used from other vehicles such as HM ambasaddor ( I assume) because lota of people do isuzu swaps .

Congratulations you are lucky, got original one (bushranger or classic or 81")but there are few in market and no one wants to sell them so dealers in Mandi Dabwali or Moga buy 91"/MM 550 model and cut chassis to make Willys look. Imagine what will be left in a offroader vehicle. Now Army use MM540 Jeep also called peejo in countryside for its engine which is Puegot TUD5

Ambassador have Isuzu engine and transmission. Cheapest and best market for them is Barnala in Punjab and of course Maya Puri in Delhi
