“He’s taking this Bansky — to the bank!

The owner of a Queens auto-glass shop made off with the British street artist’s latest work Tuesday afternoon in response to a big-bucks bid to purchase the piece.

Bernardo “Choco” Veles enlisted about 20 pals to help dismantle and remove Banksy’s makeshift sculpture of the Great Sphinx of Giza just hours after it appeared near his Willetts Point business.

“A big gallery truck pulled up and offered me money. He gave me a card,” said Veles, owner of Choco Auto Glass.”
