When you have a hard time getting the answer you like, perhaps you
should take a step back and describe your ultimate goal.

People here tend to try to see beyond the obvious "if you cant find it,
its not there and noone did it", but it's hard to imagine you want the
super obvious answer, or a Yes/No to the above question since that will
just spur further questions when that wasn't the actual end goal.

There is a BASIC on the C64, there are other BASICs with improvements,
there is BASIC 7 for non-C64 platforms which you can emulate, and you
can dive in to the BASIC 7 code and do the grunt work and port it
yourself, or you could actually state what your end goal is to getting
that specific dialect onto a C64 apart from just seeing BASIC 7 on a
C64, since that smells like a solution to something you haven't
disclosed yet, which is why you get so many disparate answers.
