They do. In fact, I think it's this aircraft. The one and only prototype 707-700.



A website on the 707s history mentions that it wasn't continued because it would compete with the 757. However, someone I know who was partly responsible for the introduction of the KC135R (with CFM56s) into the USAF mentioned that the aircraft had handling issues which Boeing realised would make civil certification difficult.
