Is this legal for a private pilot?

Isn't there a requirement on the airplane itself for a 135 operation? Or
can a school that happens to also have a 135 business fly any of the school
planes as "air taxis" should the opportunity arise?

Yes. However, a flight school operating a Part 135 operation will have some
or all of their fleet certified for the Part 135 operation. Presumably, if
the CFI was using the Part 135 operation as a legal safety net, he'd make
sure they took one of the Part 135 planes.

A Pt 135 operating certificate typically lists specific aircraft
make(s)/model(s), with pertinent operating and maintenance
documentation for same. It does not list aircraft by "N" number.

If an aircraft is equipped and maintained to Pt 135 standards,
operated by a properly certificated crew, it can be used as an "air
taxi".

The difference between Pt 91 and Pt 135 maintenance on a typical
single trainer is relatively minimal (100 hr inspections, mandatory
TBO times on engine/propeller/safety equipment), so it is not uncommon
for a small 135 operation to have rental/training aircraft on it's
operating certificate.
