Here's the link:

The listing calls it a BT-13; it looks like a BT-9 or BT-14 to me - but I've never seen photos of one in natural metal before, always blue and yellow - how long were the -9 and -14 in service?

Chris,

The aircraft in the photo is a BT-14. The BT-9 used a Wright with front exhaust collector that exited near the front of the cowling rather than at the rear as in the photo.
