subject: Commodore 65 in 1983?

I am read the first issue of Ahoy! which is 1/1984, so likely printed
late 1983, as it also has some Christmas ads in it. It's a Commodore 64
dedicated magazine.

Besides that magazine must have been a pain in the ass, starting with
little information about the C64, then an interview with the boss of
Protecto Enterprizes and then about 20 pages ads by them... Protecto
Enterprizes also offers a "84K Commodore 65". I did a screen shot at
 (left middle there).

Wikipedia says the C65 was produced in very small numbers in 1990 and had
128 KB RAM. I wonder why Protecto Enterprizes called it a Commodore 65
and not for example Commodore 84 (the 84 KB of RAM, and it is 1984).

It might be a typo though and they meant something else. I would assume
it's just a modified Commodore 64. Added some RAM and may be other
things.

Side note: I read in the Atariage forum somewhere that Protecto
Enterprizes was also promoting a Atari 2600 emulator for the VIC-20, but
it never materialized. I doubt without some hardware package that would
even be possible.
