Did the '65 coupe come with sway bars standard? What was the size of the F40 option (Special front and rear suspension)?
 
Yes, the front anti-sway bar was standard. Front and rear on 396.

I don't have the sizes handy, but someone will post them here. :w
 
according to my '65 NCRS judging guide:

front stabilizer bars were standard on all models but differed between SB, BB and F40 equiped cars:

Front suspension:
SB cars had a 3/4" front stabilizer bar
BB cars had a 7/8" front stabilizer bar
F40 cars had a 15/16" front stabilizer bar

Rear suspension:
BB cars had a 9/16" rear stabilizer bar

F40 equiped cars had different front shocks, rear shocks, front springs and rear spring (7-leaf vs. 9-leaf) than non-F40 cars.
The F40 suspension was only available on L84 or L78 optioned cars
